- 21. Bibliography on capture-recapture modelling with application to census undercount adjustment ArchivedArticles and reports: 12-001-X199200114494Description:
This article presents a selected annotated bibliography of the literature on capture-recapture (dual system) estimation of population size, on extensions to the basic methodology, and the application of these techniques in the context of census undercount estimation.
Release date: 1992-06-15 - 22. The creation of a residential address register for coverage improvement in the 1991 Canadian census ArchivedArticles and reports: 12-001-X199200114495Description:
The Address Register is a frame of residential addresses for medium and large urban centres covered by Geography Division’s Area Master File (AMF) at Statistics Canada. For British Columbia, the Address Register was extended to include smaller urban population centres as well as some rural areas. The paper provides an historical overview of the project, its objective as a means of reducing undercoverage in the 1991 Census of Canada, its sources and product, the methodology required for its initial production, the proposed post-censal evaluation and prospects for the future.
Release date: 1992-06-15 - Articles and reports: 12-001-X199200114496Description:
The Population Estimates Program of Statistics Canada has traditionally been benchmarked to the most recent census, with no allowance for census coverage error. Because of a significant increase in the level of undercoverage in the 1986 Census, however, Statistics Canada is considering the possibility of adjusting the base population of the estimates program for net census undercoverage. This paper develops and compares four estimators of such a base population: the unadjusted census counts, the adjusted census counts, a preliminary test estimator, and a composite estimator. A generalization of previously-proposed risk functions, known as the Weighted Mean Square Error (WMSE), is used as the basis of comparison. The WMSE applies not only to population totals, but to functions of population totals such as population shares and growth rates between censuses. The use of the WMSE to develop and evaluate small-area estimators in the context of census adjustment is also described.
Release date: 1992-06-15 - 24. Hierarchical and empirical Bayes methods for adjustment of census undercount: The 1988 Missouri dress rehearsal data ArchivedArticles and reports: 12-001-X199200114497Description:
The present article discusses a model-based approach towards adjustment of the 1988 Census Dress Rehearsal Data collected from test sites in Missouri. The primary objective is to develop procedures that can be used to model data from the 1990 Census Post Enumeration Survey in April, 1991 and smooth survey-based estimates of the adjustment factors. We have proposed in this paper hierarchical Bayes (HB) and empirical Bayes (EB) procedures which meet this objective. The resulting estimators seem to improve consistently on the estimators of the adjustment factors based on dual system estimation (DSE) as well as the smoothed regression estimators.
Release date: 1992-06-15 - 25. Restricted maximum likelihood (REML) estimation in empirical Bayes smoothing of census undercount ArchivedArticles and reports: 12-001-X199200114498Description:
One way to assess the undercount at subnational levels (e.g. the state level) is to obtain sample data from a post-enumeration survey, and then smooth those data based on a linear model of explanatory variables. The relative importance of sampling-error variances to corresponding model-error variances determines the amount of smoothing. Maximum likelihood estimation can lead to oversmoothing, so making the assessment of undercount over-reliant on the linear model. Restricted maximum likelihood (REML) estimators do not suffer from this drawback. Empirical Bayes prediction of undercount based on REML will be presented in this article, and will be compared to maximum likelihood and a method of moments by both simulation and example. Large-sample distributional properties of the REML estimators allow accurate mean squared prediction errors of the REML-based smoothers to be computed.
