Abstract
To estimate model parameters from complex sample data. we apply maximum likelihood techniques to the complex sample data from the finite population, which is treated as a sample from an i nfinite superpopulation. General asymptotic distribution theory is developed and then applied to both logistic regression and discrete proportional hazards models. Data from the Lipid Research Clinics Program areused to illustrate each model, demonstrating the effects on inference of neglecting the sampling design during parameter estimation. These empirical results also shed light on the issue of model-based vs. design-based inferences.
