Survey Weighting: When It Helps And When It Hurts
Episode 7
Sunday, 7 December, 2025

This episode of the Total Survey Design podcast demystifies the statistical technique of survey weighting (or post-stratification), explaining how it corrects sample imbalances by giving "quiet groups" more influence. The hosts define weighting, detail when it's an effective correction tool for probability samples, and provide practical advice on avoiding common pitfalls like over-adjustment that can hurt data precision.Support the showFind us online at: instagram.com/totalsurveydesign/https://taplink.cc/totalsurveydesignContact us at: totalsurveydesign@gmail.com
