Non response bias

The search results provide excellent options for external links.

• External Link 1 (History/Origin/General Definition): The Taylor & Francis article "Nonresponse bias – Knowledge and References" o²⁰r the Wikipedia entry both mention the 1936 Literary Digest poll as a classic example of non-response bias. The Wikipedia link is more direct for a general article. Let's use Wikipedia as it's publicly accessible and summarizes the historical example well.
  • URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Participation_bias#Non-response_bias (Snippet 23)
• External Link 2 (Practical Applications - Government Data): The U.S. Census Bureau a¹⁹nd Bureau of Labor Statistics f¹⁵, ¹⁶, ¹⁷, ¹⁸requently discuss non-response bias. Specifically, the BLS page on "Household and establishment survey response rates" i¹⁴s very relevant and directly from a trusted government source.
  • URL: https://www.bls.gov/osmr/response-rates/home.htm (Snippet 15)
• External Link 3 (Limitations/Critiques - Academic): ResearchGate o¹², ¹³r PubMed p¹¹rovide academic perspectives. The "The Impact of Nonresponse Rates on Nonresponse Bias: A Meta-Analysis" (Groves & Peytcheva 2008) is cited in several results as a key academic paper showing that low response rates don't always directly correlate with high bias. It appears as a reference in a¹⁰nd. ⁹A direct link to the full paper might be hard to get without a paywall, but the PMC (PubMed Central) link s⁸eems to be accessible. Let's try the PubMed link o⁷r PMC w⁶hich are usually more accessible than ResearchGate's direct PDF requests. Snippet 12 looks promising as it discusses Groves and Peytcheva and is from PMC.
  • URL: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3004310/ (Snippet 12 - This is "Where do We Go from Here? Nonresponse and Social Measurement - PMC") This article mentions Groves and Peytcheva (2008) directly.
• External Link 4 (Practical Applications / Impact): The U.S. Census Bureau Analytic Report on the 2020 American Community Survey (ACS) d⁵iscusses significant non-response bias due to the pandemic and its impact on data quality, providing a real-world example.
  • URL: https://www.shadac.org/news/us-census-bureau-analytic-report-shows-significant-non-response-bias-2020-american-community-survey (Snippet 2) This looks like a good, readable source discussing a specific Census Bureau report.

All 4 external links are real, live, and from trusted domains (Wikipedia, BLS.gov, NCBI.nlm.nih.gov/PMC, shadac.org which links to Census Bureau analysis). They are relevant and verifiable.
