Working with Low Survey Response Rates: The Efficacy of Weighting Adjustments.
Dey, Eric L.
Research in Higher Education, v38 n2 p215-27 Apr 1997
A study investigated the effectiveness of a weighting procedure for adjusting survey results to correct for nonresponse bias. Using data from a Cooperative Institutional Research Program followup survey, results indicate that the procedure is highly effective in univariate distributions; its effectiveness in adjusting correlation and regression analyses is less clear. Possible explanations are discussed. (Author/MSE)
