Rejoinder on“A selective review of statistical methods using calibration information from similar studies”

We thank Professor Jun Shao for organizing this interesting discussion.We also thank the six discussants formany insightful comments and suggestions.Assembling data from different sources has been becoming a very popular topic nowadays.In our review paper,we have mainly discussed many integration methods when internal data and external data share a common distribution,though the external data may not have information for some underlying variables collected in the internal study.
