Description

Target Estimation and Adjustment Weighting for Survey Nonresponse and Sampling Bias by Devin Caughey, Adam J. Berinsky, Sara Chatfield, Erin Hartman, Eric Schickler, and Jasjit S. Sekhon. This book provides a general workflow for weighting-based survey inference, breaking it down into two main tasks: estimating population targets from auxiliary information and constructing weights to calibrate the survey sample. The authors emphasize that these tasks rely on models of measurement, sampling, and nonresponse processes whose assumptions cannot be fully tested. They apply this framework to the analysis of historical and contemporary opinion polls, as well as discuss extensions for inference on causal quantities and multilevel regression. The book offers a detailed exploration of how to implement weighting-based survey inference in practice, making it a valuable resource for researchers and analysts working with survey data.
