Sampling

Sampling: Design and Analysis, 3rd Edition, is an academic textbook by Sharon L. Lohr that teaches the foundational principles and modern practice of survey sampling.

The volume covers major sampling designs, including simple probability selection, stratified sampling, and cluster designs, alongside methods for ratio and regression estimation. It illustrates these methodologies with practical applications drawn from the social sciences, public opinion research, public health, business, agriculture, and ecology.

Intended for upper-level undergraduate and graduate statistics students as well as non-majors, the 2022 edition introduces a dedicated chapter on nonprobability samples and incorporates more than 200 new examples and exercises.
