• Sommario/riassunto: An in-depth look at current issues, new research findings, and interdisciplinary exchange in survey methodology and processingSurvey Measurement and Process Quality extends the marriage of traditional survey issues and continuous quality improvement further than any other contemporary volume. It documents the current state of the field, reports new research findings, and promotes interdisciplinary exchange in questionnaire design, data collection, data processing, quality assessment, and effects of errors on estimation and analysis.The book's five sections discuss a broad range
