Abstract Despite increasing efforts during data collection, nonresponse remains sizeable in many household surveys. Statistical adjustment is hence unavoidable. By reweighting the design, weights of the respondents are adjusted to compensate for nonresponse. However, there is no consensus on how this should be carried out in general. Theoretical comparisons are inconclusive in the literature, and the associated simulation studies involve hypothetical situations not all equally relevant to reality. In this article we evaluate the three most common reweighting approaches in practice, based on real data in Norway from the two largest household surveys in the European Statistical System. We demonstrate how cross- examination of various reweighting estimators can help inform the effectiveness of the available auxiliary variables and the choice of the weight adjustment method.

基于挪威劳动力调查和收入和生活状况统计的家庭无调查常见的加权方法评估

摘要尽管在数据收集方面付出了更多的努力，但在许多家庭调查中，无答复的情况仍然很大。因此，统计调整是不可避免的。通过重新设计权重，可以调整受访者的权重，以补偿未回答的问题。但是，对于一般应如何进行尚无共识。理论上的比较在文献中尚无定论，相关的模拟研究涉及并非都与现实同等重要的假设情况。在本文中，我们根据欧洲统计系统中两个最大的住户调查中的挪威真实数据，评估了实践中最常见的三种加权方法。
