Your lecturer must have meant to refer to this paper, also by Xiao-Li Meng: https://statistics.fas.harvard.edu/files/statistics-2/files/statistical_paradises_and_paradoxes.pdf https://statistics.fas.harvard.edu/files/statistics-2/files/...
It directly answers the question of whether a small probability sample or large but biased sample is better, using only modestly technical results (at least for the first part). It’s a very nice paper.
- charlysl 7y agoWow, thanks, it seems indeed far more relevant to the lecture, and, as you said, easier to follow. EDIT: well, as it happens, the course's online book has a link (https://youtu.be/yz3jOIHLYhU https://youtu.be/yz3jOIHLYhU) to a youtube lecture based on the very paper you mentioned. EDIT: slides relevant to paper (not in youtube lecture): https://www.bnl.gov/nysds18/files/talks/session2/Meng-nysds18.pdf https://www.bnl.gov/nysds18/files/talks/session2/Meng-nysds1...
