Das Buch führt in Grundprinzipien der Stichprobenziehung und der zugehörigen statistischen Auswertung ein. Dabei stehen Motivation und anschauliche Beschreibung der Verfahren im Vordergrund. Nach einer generellen Einführung werden sowohl modellbasierte als auch designbasierte Stichprobenverfahren wie Clusterstichprobe und geschichtete Stichprobe entwickelt. Jedes Kapitel wird mit der Umsetzung der Verfahren mit dem Programpaket R abgeschlossen. Hierdurch werden die Leserin und der Leser in die Lage versetzt, selbst komplexe Stichprobenverfahren direkt in R umzusetzen.Ein Ausblick auf weitere Verfahren und praktische Probleme schließt jedes Kapitel des Buches ab.
