Sampling Probabilities for Aggregations, with Application to NELS:88 and Other Educational Longitudinal Surveys.

Spencer, Bruce D.; Foran, Wendene

Journal of Educational Statistics, v16 n1 p21-33 Spr 1991

Surveys in which one can observe--after sample selection--that each sample member belongs to one or more aggregations are considered. A formula for the probability that a given aggregation contains at least one sample member is applied to eighth grade data from the National Educational Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88). (TJH)
