SURVEY METHODOLOGY
The Wiley Handbooks in Survey Methodologyis a series of books that present both
established techniques and cutting-edge developments in the field of survey
research. The goal of each handbook is to supply a practical, one-stop reference
that treats the statistical theory, formulae, and applications that, together, make up
the cornerstones of a particular topic in the field. A self-contained presentation
allows each volume to serve as a quick reference on ideas and methods for
practitioners, while providing an accessible introduction to key concepts for
students. The result is a high-quality, comprehensive collection that is sure to serve
as a mainstay for novices and professionals alike.
