Population Inferences and Variance Estimation for NAEP Data.

Johnson, Eugene G.; Rust, Keith F.

Journal of Educational Statistics, v17 n2 p175-90 Sum 1992

The use of sampling weights in deriving population estimates for the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and the effects of nonresponse and undercoverage on those estimates are described. The estimation of sampling variability from complex sample surveys is also reviewed, concentrating on the jackknife repeated replication procedure. (SLD)
