The proposed framework covers parameters from inequality measures and distribution function estimates but the scope of the paper is broader. We develop a rigorous framework for general parameter estimation by solving survey weighted estimating equations which involve propensity score estimation for units in the non-probability sample. This development includes the expression of the variance estimator, as well as some alternatives which are discussed under the proposed framework. We carried a simulation study using data from a real-world survey, on which the application of the estimation methods showed the effectiveness of the proposed design-based inference on several general parameters.}, organization = {Spanish Government MTM2015-63609-R}, organization = {Instituto de Salud Carlos III Spanish Government PID2019-106861RB-I00-AEI-10.13039/501100011033}, publisher = {Mdpi}, keywords = {Nonprobability surveys}, keywords = {Propensity score adjustment}, keywords = {Survey sampling}, title = {Estimating General Parameters from Non-Probability Surveys Using Propensity Score Adjustment}, doi = {10.3390/math8112096}, author = {Castro Martín, Luis and Rueda García, María Del Mar and Ferri García, Ramón}, }
