Abstract
The twentieth century saw a dramatic change in the way information was generated as probability sampling replaced full enumeration. We examine some key events of the past and issues being addressed today to gain perspective on the requirements that might steer changes in the direction of survey sampling in the future. The potential for online Web panels and other methods that do not use probability sampling are considered. Finally, we conclude with some thoughts on how the future of survey sampling might be shaped by unpredictable factors.

A new variant of chain-referral sampling, respondent-driven sampling, is introduced that employs a dual system of structured incentives to overcome some of the deficiencies of such samples and discusses how respondent- driven sampling can improve both network sampling and ethnographic investigation.

A method of sample selection for household telephone interviewing via random digit dialing is developed which significantly reduces the cost of such surveys as compared to dialing numbers completely at random.

If a statistician's survey has to be recorded in the United States, one approach that might be helpful is to use the membership directory of the ASA as a sampling frame and to take a probability sample of the persons on the membership list.

86 Citations1994Sarah K. Thompson, George A. F. Seber
A simple but very general method is given for estimating a population total with any sampling design when objects in sampled units are observed with imperfect detectability--a problem characteristic of many surveys of natural and human populations.
