Abstract

Multiple questions are selected into a chain of polls. Questions from the chain of polls are served to each identified user via multiple different online venues. Over time, the results of the cumulative responses of particular users that have answered most or all of the questions in the chain are aggregated and correlated to determine overall user response. This method collects data on many questions while avoiding respondent fatigue by serving the questions in small numbers over time.

Abstract

A technique and algorithm for extracting a representative sample from a large, unrepresentative data set through the application of dynamic weighting and random assignment. The algorithm allows for the simple selection of individuals that, as a group, will closely fit any desired ratio of salient variables. The randomization algorithm allows multiple representative groups to be extracted from the same large, unrepresentative data set.
