Topics to be treated
- General framework of inference in finite population; population, sampling, statistics for the inference based on experimental data, linear homogenous estimation: elementary units, complex units.
- Sampling with unequal probabilities: Hansen-Hurwitz and Horvitz-Thompson estimators, for the particular case of simple random sampling.
- Estimators improvement through auxiliary information: ratio estimator, regression estimator
- Sampling from complex units: stratified sampling, cluster sampling, two stages sampling.
- Sampling from biological populations: basic issues in sampling, estimation of the population size.

| Aims |
Objective (in terms of abilities and knowledge)
This course aims at providing the student the basic knowledges on the sampling methods, with a particular, but not exclusive, emphasis on sampling from (finite) human populations. At the end of the course, the student should be able to correctly designing a simple survey and analysing the results.
