On voluntary and volunteer government surveys in the United States.
Kott, P. (2014). On voluntary and volunteer government surveys in the United States.Statistical Journal of the IAOS, 30(3), 249-253. https://doi.org/10.3233/SJI-140832

We will discuss the repercussions of this on the quality of those surveys and discuss how calibration weighting can be used to limit the potential bias on resulting estimators.
