Just a short blog post. I recently attended the 4th Workshop on Adaptive and Responsive Survey Design. There were many good papers delivered at this workshop. There was a particular focus on Bayesian approaches to the estimation of survey design parameters or paradata modeling. The link has some of the slides and papers.
My dissertation was entitled "Adaptive Survey Design to Reduce Nonresponse Bias." I had been working for several years on "responsive designs" before that. As I was preparing my dissertation, I really saw "adaptive" design as a subset of responsive design.

The term "responsive design" was developed by Groves and Heeringa (2006). They coined the term, so I think their definition is the one that should be used. They defined "responsive design" in the following way:
1. Preidentify a set of design features that affect cost and error tradeoffs.
2. Identify indicators for these costs and errors. Monitor these during data collection.
3. Alter the design features based on pre-identified decision rules based on the indi…
