Main themes 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.
