Abstract
Samples are often obtained under circumstances which make it less likely to draw individuals from some parts of a population than from others. In this paper a method is presented which makes it possible, under certain assumptions, to correct for the resulting bias and thus reconstruct the means, standard deviations, and correlation coefficients of the original population.Keywords
