Household Surveys with Multiplicity
TLDR
In the household survey with multiplicity, sample households report information about their own residents as well as about other persons who live elsewhere, such as relatives or neighbors, as specified by a multiplicity rule adopted in the survey as discussed by the authors.Abstract:
In the household survey with multiplicity, sample households report information about their own residents as well as about other persons who live elsewhere, such as relatives or neighbors, as specified by a multiplicity rule adopted in the survey. Although sampling errors for the multiplicity survey are not necessarily smaller than those for the conventional survey in which sample households report for their own residents only, in most instances it should be feasible to assure a substantial reduction in sampling error by selecting appropriate multiplicity rules. Using alternative statistical models, it is demonstrated that under specified conditions, sampling errors for the multiplicity survey are necessarily smaller than those for the conventional survey, and the results give insight regarding the factors contributing to the efficiency of the multiplicity survey.read more

Adaptive Cluster Sampling
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe sampling designs in which, whenever an observed value of a selected unit satisfies a condition of interest, additional units are added to the sample from the neighborhood of that unit, if any of these additional units satisfies the condition, still more units may be added.
