הפאנל האינטרנטי ההסתברותי היחיד במדינת ישראל: ייצוגיות, דגימה הסתברותית, ותהליך הגיוס המורחב לפאנל: [הערה על מחקר]

The first probabilistic web-based panel in Israel, developed and built by the B.I. and Lucille Cohen Institute for public opinion research at Tel Aviv University, is described in this article. We detail the panel construction and its uniqueness relative to existing internet panels in Israel. The panel recruit mentand maintenance procedures are complex and include the following components:a dedicated random sample of individuals from a sampling frame (the Israeli population registry); mixed-mode recruitment (telephone and postal) to augment the panel’s representativeness; and constant panel refreshment. This transparent procedure yields unique methodological advantages for academic research, such as the ability to calculate the sampling error compared to other existing panels.In conclusion, this is the only panel in Israel that complies with the highest methodological standards that can replace face-to-face or telephone surveys at a lower cost, while maintaining high methodological quality.
