Quality indicators when combining survey data and administrative data

Articles and reports: 11-522-X20050019494
Description:

Traditionally, data quality indicators reported by surveys have been the sampling variance, coverage error, non-response rate and imputation rate. To obtain an imputation rate when combining survey data and administrative data, one of the problems is to compute the imputation rate itself. The presentation will discuss how to solve this problem. First, we will discuss the desired properties when developing a rate in a general context. Second, we will develop some concepts and definitions that will help us to develop combine rates. Third, we will propose different combined rates for the case of imputation. We will then present three different combined rates, and we will discuss properties for each rate. We will end with some illustrative examples.
