Abstract
A choice-based panel sample is one in which selected sample units, chosen on the basis of endogenous variable values, are repeatedly surveyed over time. Choice-based panel samples are subject to two forms of bias. The first arises from selective attrition. The second is a result of the choice-based nature of the sampling scheme itself. This chapter discusses weighting methods for choice-based panel samples which account for both kinds of bias, and enable us to draw inferences regarding the population. Panel samples are usually replenished with refreshments to maintain the size and representativeness of the panel. This chapter discusses weighting methods for refreshment samples, and briefly reviews sampling schemes that can be used for recruitment of new panel members. We demonstrate the application of these methods through a study of mode choice behavior in the Puget Sound Transportation Panel.
