Handling missing data in coverage estimation, with application to the 1986 Test of Adjustment Related Operations - ARCHIVED

This paper discusses methods used to handle missing data in post-enumeration surveys for estimating census coverage error, as illustrated for the 1986 Test of Adjustment Related Operations (Diffendal 1988). The methods include imputation schemes based on hot-deck and logistic regression models as well as weighting adjustments. The sensitivity of undercount estimates from the 1986 test to variations in the imputation models is also explored.
