Abstract

Once a grant proposal is accepted and funding approved, one must carry out the proposal. In order to effectively carry out a study one must 1. determine if approval is required by the IRB and follow the guidelines to obtain the appropriate review and approval; 2. hire and train personnel so that they are able to carry out the steps of the study, understand the purpose of the study, and serve as assets to the entire research group; 3. develop appropriate questionnaires, abstracts, letters, and other forms in order to obtain the data being sought; 4. organize the collected information so that it is easily retrievable, accurate, and clear; and 5. analyze the data to obtain results.

Probability estimation when some observations are grouped.

This paper considers the use of additional questions for decreasing survey non-response rates and an approach for estimating a probability based on the results obtained. In a survey, the respondents are asked to answer an original question and follow-up questions, where the answers for the follow-up questions are grouped answers for the original question. For example, respondents are asked to provide an exact number of incidents, but in cases of 'Do not know' or 'Refuse' responses, they are subsequently asked to pick an answer from a less specific categorical scale. The new estimator obtains smaller variance asymptotically and does not depend on a distribution family. This method is applied to income questions in a survey regarding injury prevention and behaviours. Another application is survey data on intimate partner violence, where some amendments were applied for incorporating post-stratification weights and for using non-random grouping. For additional illustration, an example of parameter estimation on artificially generated data is presented.
