Sampling and Weighting in the National Assessment.

Rust, Keith F.; Johnson, Eugene G.

Journal of Educational Statistics, v17 n2 p111-29 Sum 1992

Procedures for obtaining student samples for the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and deriving survey weights for analysis of survey data are described. Sample designs are economically and operationally feasible, and weighting procedures result in increased precision of estimates as they account for the probabilities of student selection. (SLD)
