Abstract
As mentioned in the introduction, the GWSM was first described by Lavallée (1995). It produces an estimation weight for each unit surveyed in the target population UB. This estimation weight basically constitutes an average of the sampling weights of the population UA from which the sample is selected. We first present in this chapter a formal description of the GWSM. Second, we describe the use of the method.
