contents Statistical Graphics for Survey Weights Susanna Makela Yajuan Si Andrew Gelman Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas Graphics Diagnostics Sample Survey Sampling Scheme Survey weights are used for correcting known differences between the sample and the population due to sampling design, nonresponse, undercov- erage, and other factors. However, practical considerations often result in weights that are not constructed in a systematic fashion. Graphical methods can be useful in understanding complex survey weights and their relations with other variables in the dataset, particularly when little to no information on the construction of the weights is available. Graphical tools can also as- sist in diagnostics, including detection of outliers and extreme weights. We apply our methods to the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, an ongoing longitudinal survey. 2014 artículo científico 0120-1751 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=89933712004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=899 Revista Colombiana de Estadística application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revista Colombiana de Estadística (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.37
