PREFACE

It is difficult, if not impossible, to determine the representative qualities of online data. The probabilistic models that once underpinned our research are re-visited. Here we take a hard look at the use of behavioral profiling of respondents to augment the old and create new representative sampling frames. We are at a crossroad; either we ground our research with proper theory or we lose to those who claim to read the wisdom of crowds.
