Estimation for network snowball sampling: Preventing pandemics
Steve Thompson
Snowball designs are the most natural of the network sampling designs. They have many desirable properties for sampling hidden and hard-to reach populations. They have been under-u…
New estimates for network sampling
Steve Thompson
Network sampling is used around the world for surveys of vulnerable, hard-to-reach populations including people at risk for HIV, opioid misuse, and emerging epidemics. The sampling…
Simple estimators for network sampling
Steve Thompson
A new estimation method is presented for network sampling designs, including Respondent Driven Sampling (RDS) and Snowball (SB) sampling. These types of link-tracing designs are es…
Fast Moving Sampling Designs in Temporal Networks
Steven K. Thompson
In a study related to this one I set up a temporal network simulation environment for evaluating network intervention strategies. A network intervention strategy consists of a samp…
Interventions in Networks
Steven K. Thompson
Interventions are made in networks to change the network or its values in a desired way. The intervention strategies evaluated in the study described here use network sampling desi…
Estimating the size and distribution of networked populations with snowball sampling
Kyle Vincent, Steve Thompson
A new strategy is introduced for estimating population size and networked population characteristics. Sample selection is based on a multi-wave snowball sampling design. A generali…
Dynamic spatial and network sampling
Steven K. Thompson
This paper considers some designs for sampling and interventions in dynamic networks and spatial temporal settings. The sample spreads through the population largely by tracing net…
Estimating Population Size with Link-Tracing Sampling
Kyle Vincent, Steve Thompson
We present a new design and inference method for estimating population size of a hidden population best reached through a link-tracing design. The strategy involves the Rao-Blackwe…
