An Adjustment for Nonresponse in Sample Surveys.
Daniel, Wayne W.; And Others
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v42 n1 p57-67 Spr 1982
To test the use of Bayes's theorem to adjust for nonresponse bias, 600 hospitals were used in a simulated sample survey. On the basis of known information on five variables, Bayes's formula correctly predicted the status of 92 of the 100 "nonrespondents" relative to a sixth variable. (Author/BW)
