"Morris Hansen made seminal contributions to the early development of sampling theory, including convincing government #survey administrators to use probability sampling as opposed to nonprobability methods like quota sampling. ... This article traces some of that history."

In case you missed it! Chloe Howard, Lara M Greaves, Danny Osborne & Chris G Sibley on "Is there a Day of the Week Effect on Panel Response Rate to an Online Questionnaire Email Invitation?"
"[O]ur findings provide reassurance when conducting ongoing panel studies that once participants have joined an existing panel study, the DOW that they are emailed to complete a follow-up questionnaire does not impact their likelihood of responding."

New in Advance Access! "Estimating the Size of Clustered Hidden Populations" by Laura J Gamble, Lisa G Johnston, Phuong N Pham, Patrick Vinck & Katherine R McLaughlin
"This research proposes two modifications to a commonly used method of hidden population size estimation to make it applicable to cases where the underlying social network in the population is disconnected or weakly connected."

In case you missed it! "Optimizing Data Collection Interventions to Balance Cost and Quality in a Sequential Multimode Survey" by Stephanie M Coffey & Michael R Elliott
"We find that this optimization process allowed us to reduce data collection costs by nearly 10 percent, without a statistically or practically significant increase in the RMSE of mean salary or a decrease in the unweighted response rate."

New in Advance Access! "Interviewer Involvement in Respondent Selection Moderates the Relationship between Response Rates and Sample Bias in Cross-National Survey Projects in Europe" by Marta Kołczyńska, Piotr Jabkowski & Stephanie Eckman
"Based on our results, we recommend that surveys include procedures to verify respondent-selection practices into their fieldwork control procedures."

3 questions, 3 hours. In our new format #NFDI3questions3hours, we invite you to an open discussion on our Mastodon instance.
The first issue will focus on the use of #AI in research. It starts on Tuesday, 23 May, at 1 pm. Under this profile @NFDI we will post three questions and open the lively discussion for three hours.

New in Advance Access! Braden Scherting, Alison J Peel, Raina Plowright & Andrew Hoegh on "Estimation of Covid-19 Prevalence Dynamics from Pooled Data"
"This [nonparametric, hierarchical Bayesian model] reduce[s] uncertainty compared to individual testing at the same budget and produce[s] similar estimates compared to individual testing at a much higher budget through simulation studies and an analysis of COVID-19 infections."

72% of #FReDA participants are in a relationship, but not all of them live with their partner. 18% don't live with their partner. Of those living apart, 61% said there were external circumstances, which was why they were living apart.
What are the reasons why couples have to live apart? 30% don't live together for work-related reasons, 22% for housing-related reasons, & 19% for financial reasons. It's possible that these numbers change in the future since working from home is now more common.
