Researchers have developed a new framework using deep neural networks (DNNs) to combine probability and nonprobability survey samples for more robust estimation. The method models the sampling score of nonprobability samples as an unknown function, estimated by maximizing a pseudo-likelihood that integrates data from both probability and nonprobability sources. This approach aims to improve robustness against misspecification of the selection mechanism, particularly when it is nonlinear, and has been evaluated using simulation studies and real-world data.
