Adaptive data collection using the paradata of the previous survey
We present an adaptive data collection method for a mixed-mode survey. We use the dataset of the previous survey and construct propensities to participate in the survey on the web or on the phone. An idea is to impute the propensities to a new sample where the propensities can be utilized in the data collection. When potential web respondents, phone respondents and non-respondents are known before the data collection, interviewer resources can be used more efficiently.
