Advanced Survey Sampling I

Submitted by SuneK on February 18, 2016 - 13:22

Teacher and examiner: Dan Hedlin, Department of Statistics, Stockholm University. .

Topic

We focus on design-based sampling with the Horvitz-Thompson and the generalised regression estimators. (Advanced Survey Sampling II will go further into model assisted estimation). The main course book is Särndal, Swensson and Wretman (1992); for part I we limit ourselves to Chapters 1-7. Although the focus is on design-based sampling we will put this inferential framework into some wider context.

Causal inference in register studies

Submitted by MariaKarlsson on September 18, 2012 - 13:03

In this course we introduce causal inference with main focus on two approaches; i) the potential outcome framework/ Rubin Causal Model and ii) Causal inference with graphical models.
Identification of causal effects in the two approaches is studied. Non and semi-parametric estimators of causal effects commonly associated with the potential outcome framework will be presented. A general  introduction to graphical models is also given.
