Abstract
We obtain an information bound for estimates of parameters in general regression models where data are collected under a variety of response-selective sampling schemes, together with a simple formula for the asymptotic variance of the semi-parametric maximum likelihood estimate. This is compared to the bound and the estimate is found to be fully efficient in a variety of settings. A small simulation study is reported to illustrate the small-sample efficiency of the semi-parametric estimator.
