This book introduces a new statistical survey methodology that can be used to estimate population parameters, presenting three concepts for discussion, including calibration, jackknifing, and imputing where needed.

A New Concept for Tuning Design Weights in Survey Sampling: Jackknifing in Theory and Practice introduces the new concept of tuning design weights in survey sampling by presenting three concepts: calibration, jackknifing, and imputing where needed. This new methodology allows survey statisticians to develop statistical software for analyzing data in a more precisely and friendly way than with existing techniques.
