Kernel Weighting for blending probability and non-probability survey samples
In this paper we review some methods proposed in the literature for combining a nonprobability and a probability sample with the purpose of obtaining an estimator with a smaller bias and standard error than the estimators that can be obtained using only the probability sample. We propose a new metho...

| Sumario: | In this paper we review some methods proposed in the literature for combining a nonprobability and a probability sample with the purpose of obtaining an estimator with a smaller bias and standard error than the estimators that can be obtained using only the probability sample. We propose a new methodology based on the kernel weighting method. We discuss the properties of the new estimator when there is only selection bias and when there are both coverage and selection biases. We perform an extensive simulation study to better understand the behaviour of the proposed estimator. |
