Robust Methods in Survey Design and Analysis with Applications
The violation of the assumptions that underlie parametric statistical methods is potentially a serious issue when drawing inferences about a population. Resulting bias in the estimates may lead to incorrect conclusions. Typical problems include, but are not limited to, the presence of outliers, untenable normality assumptions, and model misspecification.
This session aims at showcasing recent developments in robust methods for survey design and survey data analysis with emphasis on applications. Submissions on topics such as semi- and non-parametric modelling, estimation of distribution functions and quantiles, variance estimation and methods for missing data are particularly welcome. The presentations will illustrate the application of robust methods to studies in the life, social and natural sciences. Examples on the usage of related statistical software are also encouraged.
