Survey
Sampling and Design
Design
of survey projects and basic sampling designs are accomplished
by the professional
staff of the SESRC. The professional staff each have
a minimum of five years experience in survey design and basic
sampling concepts, and several have up to twenty year of
experience. For complex sample designs, the SESRC relies
on the expertise of sampling statisticians in academic departments
at Washington State University and
the University of Idaho.
Most
telephone samples, both RDD and listed, used by the SESRC
are obtained from a commercial vendor. We have found this
to be the most efficient and economical way to obtain household
and business samples. Additionally, the SESRC maintains telephone
directory information for the entire State of Washington.
