Issues of Rotation in Panel Surveys
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Statistics- Sampling Survey
Abstract
Panel surveys are surveys for which the respondents are interviewed more than once .i.e. the sample respondents are interviewed on more than one occasion. One of the most unavoidable problems of panel surveys is nonresponse which results in nonrectangular structure of data subject to missing values. In this paper, different methods in use for compensating for nonresponse to get rectangular data structure in panel surveys have been examined. The problems associated with each of them are clearly identified and a new method based on panel rotation is considered.
Keywords
Wave Nonresponse, Panel Design, Nonresponse Compensation, Panel Rotation.
