Choosing frame weights in dual-frame surveys

Read Original

This technical article discusses the statistical challenge of selecting the weighting parameter (θ) in dual-frame surveys, where samples from overlapping frames must be weighted to avoid double-counting. It compares traditional variance-minimization methods for estimating totals with a modern computational approach using R's survey and Frames2 packages to find optimal θ values for multiple variables, demonstrating the process with phone survey data.
