“…The same is true for the use of "innovation samples" to address highly specified, theorydriven research questions that require specific variables and possibly also specific survey intervention studies that may be carried out using parts of the innovation sample or as related studies (Anger et al 2009;Siedler et al 2009). …”

“…They also note that this can provide insight into the generalizability of findings derived from convenience samples (Siedler and Sonnenberg 2010: 7-8). In line with these recommendations, the SOEP is used in the present analysis as a representative survey (Siedler et al 2009) for comparison of BASE-II participants with the same age groups in the larger German population that is surveyed in the SOEP. This comparison serves as the basis for selectivity analysis.…”

Terms of use: Documents in SELECTIVITY PROCESSES IN AND WEIGHTS FOR THE BERLIN AGING STUDY II (BASE-II)Berlin, 2013 SummaryLike many medical studies, the Berlin Aging Study II (BASE-II) is based on a non-random "convenience sample" of self-recruited participants. To study processes of selectivity in BASE-II, we used a questionnaire to compare BASE-II with a large, representative reference study, the German SocioEconomic Panel (SOEP), thereby allowing differences in characteristics of participants in BASE-II and SOEP to be analysed easily. Based on this selectivity analysis, we then generated propensity score weights that adjust for the selectivity in the BASE-II survey. In addition, we adjusted the weights of the BASE-II sample to statistical information from the Federal Statistical Office so that the BASE-II study has the same totals as the official statistics.

“…Given that the SOEP serves as such a representative survey (Siedler et al 2009), it is possible to compare the BASE-II participants with the German population of the same age groups surveyed in the SOEP. Indeed, (Bertram et al 2013: 7).…”
