Oversampling in relation to differential regional response rates

"Response rates of face-to-face surveys often show regional variation. In larger cities e.g., response typically will be lower than in smaller villages. Following current survey practices, substitution of survey non-respondents is no longer recommended. In order to achieve an adequate regional representation of the population in a survey, differential regional oversampling can be an option. The authors show how regional ineligible rates and response rates of previous surveys can be used in a multilevel analysis to obtain residuals that form the basis for the computation of an ineligible correc...
