DISCUSS Sampling and Estimation

This is a growing page of links which should provide some useful additional material for studying sampling and statistical inference. Please let Neville Hunt or Sidney Tyrrell know of any good links to add or of any which fail.

Real life examples

	Mori polls provides a feast of up to date polls and surveys with the results and questions, plus archive material.
	Across the pond is Gallup with interesting background material on polling.
	If you want to conduct a survey using a questionnaire you'll be interested in the question bank which is a resource provided by the Centre for Applied Social Surveys (CASS), with questionnaires, background information on government surveys and useful definitions.
	In contrast to samples don't forget the 2001 Census.
	or the Census at School.
	Incidentally the USA Census was held in 2000.
	Censuses to be held in 2001 include those in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and India.

The Journal of Statistics Education has some interesting articles in its archives. Do some sampling using StatVillage an on-line accessible hypothetical city based on real Canadian data.
