Abstract

We discuss issues and techniques with combining information from multiple sources under settings involving probability samples, non-probability samples, known population controls from a census, or estimated population controls from other surveys. Two main principles, namely, validity and efficiency, are discussed under different scenarios. Inferential techniques are presented under the general framework of calibration and empirical likelihood methods.
