Abstract: 

We can combine model and design-based inference to address the following challenges of generalizing from sample to population:  sparse data, small-area estimation, adjustment for non-census variables, cluster sampling, and survey weights.  The methods are intellectually exciting and also important in the real world, as we demonstrate using examples in public health and public opinion, medical research, and policy analysis.
