BIAS IN LIST-ASSISTED TELEPHONE SAMPLES

A number of researchers have suggested list-assisted samplingfor the selection of telephone households to overcome some ofthe operational difficulties associated with the Mitofsky-Waksbergmethods of random digit dialing (RDD). An advantage of a list-assistedmethod of RDD is that an equal probability systematic sampleof telephone numbers can be selected and the variances of estimatesfrom such a sample are usually lower than from a clustered designlike the Mitofsky-Waksberg method. The main disadvantage ofthe list-assisted method is that it excludes some householdsfrom the sample, thus creating a coverage bias in the estimates.This article describes research on the coverage bias for a particularmethod of list-assisted sampling. The two key determinants ofcoverage bias are the proportion of households that are noteligible for the sample and the differences in the characteristicsof the covered and not covered populations. The results showthat about 4 percent of all households are excluded in nationalsamples using this method of sampling. Furthermore, they showthat the differences between the covered and uncovered populationsare generally not large. The coverage bias resulting from theseconditions may often be small.     

霜膜一体大牌、简约、省钱

霜膜一体,真能这么用吗? "可以做晚霜用的面膜"曾经被大肆批判,因为传统意义上的晚霜大多是能养护、滋养、舒缓肌肤的产品;而面膜则不同,其中所含养分比一般护肤品要丰厚得多,主要用做对肌肤深层护理.假设整晚都用面膜滋养皮肤,那么过多的养分会令肌肤不堪重负,轻则变敏感,重则起痘、长斑. GRACE提示:1本季我们就不用再担心这个问题,因为最新的"面膜霜"或者"晚霜膜",既保存了原来面霜保湿滋润的特点,但从吸收度上来说做了最大改良,皮肤能整晚的顺畅呼吸,不会产生任何不适症状.2唯一的区别就是用量,做面霜就薄薄一层,做面膜就增加用量和厚度,让其在肌肤表面形成一层保护膜.
