Groves' books recent books and articles focus heavily on the psychology and methodology of telephone surveys. Many of these discuss methods for dealing with survey non response, and Groves suggests various adjustments to make up for nonresponse.
<blockquote>
"The expressions above concern sample values and estimates, unadjusted in
any way to compensate for nonresponse. It is common, however, to use
weighting class adjustments (Bethlehem 2002), raking (Deville, Särndal, and
Sautory 1993), calibration methods (Deville and Särndal 1992; Lundström
and Särndal 1999), or propensity models (Ekholm and Laaksonen 1991) to
reduce the biasing effects of response propensities correlated with the survey
variables."<ref>http://poq.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/reprint/70/5/646.pdf</ref>
</blockquote>
Since he recommends using adjustments for small surveys, it follows logically that he will support similar adjustments in the Census of 2010.
