Abstract
While probability samples are traditionally considered the gold standard for collecting high-quality data, the recent surge in the use of non-probability samples is notable. This shift is attributed to declining response rates, escalating survey costs, and the widespread availability of inexpensive and timely big non-probability data. However, relying solely on naive estimates derived from non-probability samples may expose analyses to substantial selection bias. Data integration techniques, which amalgamate information from both probability and non-probability samples, have proven highly effective in mitigating the selection bias inherent in non-probability samples. Established methods for data integration encompass mass imputation, propensity score weighting, calibration, and hybrid approaches, each contingent on specific model assumptions. In this paper, we address the challenge of model misspecification by introducing a novel deep neural network-based mass imputation method for data integration. Unlike existing deep neural network methods, our proposed approach is directly applicable for statistical inference, enhancing its utility in rigorous analyses. The paper provides asymptotic results to substantiate the method's validity. The results from both simulation studies and real-data applications underscore the robustness and effectiveness of our approach in improving the accuracy and reliability of estimates derived from integrated datasets.
