David Haziza

In the second EMOS webinar on 15 December 2022, David Haziza examined how machine learning methods perform in the context of unit nonresponse in survey data and familiarised participants with techniques for treating unit nonresponse.

The webinar included an introduction to nonresponse and nonresponse bias and gave insights into propensity score and adjusted estimators as well as the empirical comparison of machine learning methods.
