Abstract
Summary: This keynote address at the 7th Australian Statistical Conference (1984) discusses briefly seven modifications of sample design for improving the usefulness and timeliness of surveys relevant to public poky. These are: better estimates for small domains, cumulating rolling samples, more panel surveys, multipurpose designs for periodic samples, split panel designs (SPD) combining panels with nonoverlapping samples, and frequent collections cumulated for less frequent reporting periods.
