WILEY-INTERSCIENCE PAPERBACK SERIES
The Wiley-Interscience Paperback Series consists of selected
books that have been made more accessible to consumers in an effort
to increase global appeal and general circulation. With these new
unabridged softcover volumes, Wiley hopes to extend the lives of
these works by making them available to future generations of
statisticians, mathematicians, and scientists.
‘This book will be an aid to survey statisticians and to
research workers who must work with survey data.’

Measurement Errors in Surveys documents the current state of the
field, reports new research findings, and promotes
interdisciplinary exchanges in modeling, assessing, and reducing
measurement errors in surveys. Providing a fundamental approach to
measurement errors, the book features sections on the
questionnaire, respondents and responses, interviewers and other
means of data collection, the respondent-interviewer relationship,
and the effects of measurement errors on estimation and data
analysis.
