The design approach is evaluated, using a likelihood approach to survey sampling. It is argued
that a model-based approach is unavoidable from a scientific point of view. Estimating
population quantities can then be regarded as a prediction problem. Predictive likelihood
methods are considered in various cases, and evaluated by properties of related confidence
intervals and asymptotic consistency.
