Abstract
Using a projection approach, we obtain an asymptotic information bound for estimates
of parameters in general regression models under choice-based and two-phase outcome-dependent
sampling. The asymptotic variances of the semiparametric estimates of Scott and Wild (1997, 2001) are
compared to these bounds and the estimates are found to be fully efficient.
