When data are not missing at random, approaches to reduce nonresponse bias include subsampling nonresponding units and modeling. The objective of this thesis is to develop unbiased and precise model-assisted estimators of the population total that are applicable to data from a complex survey design with nonignorable nonresponse. When information...

Four lines of evidence reveal shorter egg to pupa juvenile...
