- Articles and reports: 12-001-X202300200014Description: Many things have been written about Jean-Claude Deville in tributes from the statistical community (see Tillé, 2022a; Tillé, 2022b; Christine, 2022; Ardilly, 2022; and Matei, 2022) and from the École nationale de la statistique et de l’administration économique (ENSAE) and the Société française de statistique. Pascal Ardilly, David Haziza, Pierre Lavallée and Yves Tillé provide an in-depth look at Jean-Claude Deville’s contributions to survey theory. To pay tribute to him, I would like to discuss Jean-Claude Deville’s contribution to the more day-to-day application of methodology for all the statisticians at the Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques (INSEE) and at the public statistics service. To do this, I will use my work experience, and particularly the four years (1992 to 1996) I spent working with him in the Statistical Methods Unit and the discussions we had thereafter, especially in the 2000s on the rolling census.Release date: 2024-01-03
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202301200002Description: The validity of survival estimates from cancer registry data depends, in part, on the identification of the deaths of deceased cancer patients. People whose deaths are missed seemingly live on forever and are informally referred to as “immortals”, and their presence in registry data can result in inflated survival estimates. This study assesses the issue of immortals in the Canadian Cancer Registry (CCR) using a recently proposed method that compares the survival of long-term survivors of cancers for which “statistical” cure has been reported with that of similar people from the general population.Release date: 2023-12-20

Release date: 1999-05-04 - 12. National Population Health Survey Overview ArchivedTable: 82-567-XDescription:
The National Population Health Survey (NPHS) is designed to enhance the understanding of the processes affecting health. The survey collects cross-sectional as well as longitudinal data. In 1994/95 the survey interviewed a panel of 17,276 individuals, then returned to interview them a second time in 1996/97. The response rate for these individuals was 96% in 1996/97. Data collection from the panel will continue for up to two decades. For cross-sectional purposes, data were collected for a total of 81,000 household residents in all provinces (except people on Indian reserves or on Canadian Forces bases) in 1996/97.
This overview illustrates the variety of information available by presenting data on perceived health, chronic conditions, injuries, repetitive strains, depression, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, consultations with medical professionals, use of medications and use of alternative medicine.

- 151. Double sampling ArchivedArticles and reports: 12-001-X20010026091Description:
The theory of double sampling is usually presented under the assumption that one of the samples is nested within the other. This type of sampling is called two-phase sampling. The first-phase sample provides auxiliary information (x) that is relatively inexpensive to obtain, whereas the second-phase sample: (b) to improve the estimate using a difference, ratio or regression estimator; or (c) to draw a sub-sample of non-respondent units. However, it is not necessary for one of the samples to be nested in the other or selected from the same frame. The case of non-nested double sampling is dealt with in passing in the classical works on sampling (Des Raj 1968, Cochrane 1977). This method is now used in several national statistical agencies. This paper consolidates double sampling by presenting it in a unified manner. Several examples of surveys used at Statistics Canada illustrate this unification.
Release date: 2002-02-28 - Articles and reports: 12-001-X20010026093Description:
This paper presents weighting procedures that combine information from multiple panels of a repeated panel household survey for cross-sectional estimation. The dynamic character of a repeated panel survey is discussed in relation to estimation of population parameters at any wave of the survey. A repeated panel survey with overlapping panels is described as a special type of multiple frame survey, with the frames of the panels forming a time sequence. The paper proposes weighting strategies suitable for various multiple panel survey situations. The proposed weighting schemes involve an adjustment of weights in domains of the combined panel sample that represent identical time periods covered by the individual panels. A weight adjustment procedure that deals with changes in the panels over time is discussed. The integration of the various weight adjustments required for cross-sectional estimation in a repeated panel household survey is also discussed.
Release date: 2002-02-28 - 153. Local polynomial regression in complex surveys ArchivedArticles and reports: 12-001-X20010026096Description:
Local polynomial regression methods are put forward to aid in exploratory data analysis for large-scale surveys. The proposed regression methods are put forward to aid in exploratory data analysis for large-scale surveys. The proposed method relies on binning the data on the x-variable and calculating the appropriate survey estimates for the mean of the y-values at each bin. When binning on x has been carried out to the precision of the recorded data, the method is the same as applying the survey weights to the standard criterion for obtaining local polynomial regression estimates. The alternative of using classical polynomial regression is also considered and a criterion is proposed to decide whether the nonparametric approach to modeling should be preferred over the classical approach. Illustrative examples are given from the 1990 Ontario Health Survey.
Release date: 2002-02-28 - 154. Crime comparisons between Canada and the United States ArchivedArticles and reports: 85-002-X20010118397Geography: CanadaDescription:
This Juristat examines how Canadian crime rates compare to those in the United States. Using police-reported crime data, the analysis focuses on seven comparable offences: homicide, aggravated assault, robbery, break and enter, motor vehicle theft, theft, and arson. As well, three comparable offences were compared using charge/arrest data, including drug violations, impaired driving, and prostitution. Crime rate comparisons are presented at the national, regional, and metropolitan levels. This is a special topic Juristat of great interest to those working in the criminal justice system, as well as researchers, policy makers, and anyone who is interested in cross-national crime comparisons.
Release date: 2001-12-18 - 155. Information and Communications Technologies in Canada ArchivedJournals and periodicals: 56-506-XDescription:
Information and communications technologies in Canada is designed to profile the growth and development of the Canadian information and communications technologies (ICT) sector. The publication provides a statistical overview of the ICT sector on the basis of key economic variables, including production, employment, international trade, revenue and research and development expenditures.
Statistics Canada's first quantification of the ICT sector appeared in the compendium publication entitled Networked Canada: beyond the information highway, catalogue no. 56-504-XIE. This publication updates these estimates with the most recent data, while providing improved industrial coverage and in-depth analysis of Canada's ICT sector.
Many different data sources have been used throughout the project, and while all efforts have been made to maximize the amount of data available, it has not been possible in all instances to consistently report for all ICT industries and all relevant variables. The conversion to the new North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) has largely contributed to these difficulties, and it is expected that a greater range of data will be available once all of the survey programs begin reporting on the basis of this new industry classification.
Release date: 2001-12-17 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2001178Geography: CanadaDescription:
The school performance of the children of immigrants in the Canadian school system is analyzed using data from the first three waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY). School performance is measured in terms of ability at reading, writing, mathematics and overall aptitude. The parents' and teachers' assessments of the children's performances are used, as are the results of formal testing. On average, children of immigrants generally do at least as well as the children of the Canadian-born along each dimension of school performance. The children of immigrant parents whose first language is either English or French have especially high outcomes. The children of other immigrant parents have lower performance in reading, writing and composition but their performance in mathematics is comparable to that of the children of Canadian-born parents. It is also found that with more years in the Canadian education system, the performance of these children in reading, writing and mathematics improves and is equal to or greater than the performance of the children of Canadian-born parents by age thirteen in virtually all areas of performance.
Release date: 2001-11-14 - 157. Homicide in Canada, 2000 ArchivedArticles and reports: 85-002-X20010098395Geography: Province or territory, Census metropolitan areaDescription:
The 2000 police-reported statistics indicate that the overall crime rate in Canada decreased for the ninth consecutive year and is at its lowest point since 1978. In addition, data from studies such as the 1999 General Social Survey (GSS) suggest that many Canadians perceive crime as having stabilized over the past five years and feel less fearful of being a victim of crime in their neighbourhoods. Despite these positive indicators, the violent crime rate increased by 3% in 2000, the first increase in seven years. This report examines trends and characteristics for the most serious violent crime – homicide.
Release date: 2001-10-31 - 158. Spousal violence after marital separation ArchivedArticles and reports: 85-002-X20010078393Geography: CanadaDescription:
Research studies have found a connection between spousal violence and separation, particularly for women. Using data from the 1999 General Social Survey, the 1993 Violence Against Women Survey, the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey and the Homicide Survey, this Juristat investigates the prevalence, nature and severity of violence that occurs following the breakdown of a marital union.
Release date: 2001-06-28 - 159. Family and demographic changes and the economic well-being of preschool-age children in Canada, 1981-1997 ArchivedArticles and reports: 91-209-X20000005748Geography: CanadaDescription: Several different analyses have considered the impact of family and demographic change on the economic conditions affecting children (Dooley, 1988, 1991; McQuillan, 1992; Picot and Myles, 1996). The present study updates this reserach to 1997, while shifting the emphasis to families with very young children.Release date: 2001-06-22
- Articles and reports: 88F0006X2000003Description:
In the spring of 1999, the Science, Innovation and Electronic Information Division of Statistics Canada (SIEID) decided to review the methods it uses to estimate Higher Education R&D Expenditures (HERD) and Health Gross Expenditures on R&D (Health GERD). The manner in which research is performed and funded in Canadian universities and research hospitals has evolved in recent years, and current methodologies may not take these changes into account. By improving HERD, the health GERD estimates will also benefit. It may be possible to improve them yet again by building upon recent work at Statistics Canada on biotechnology R&D in Canadian Industry.
In September 1999, an initial study and its recommendations generated a positive reaction from a group of professionals in the university and health research fields. SIEID then created a Working Group and hired a facilitator to examine current estimation methods, to recommend revisions where appropriate, and to produce a framework for an improved program in this area. This document is the final report written by the facilitator, Mireille Brochu.

- Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 13F0026M1999006Description:
Although income and expenditure data provide an indication of current consumption and ability to purchase goods and services, they provide little information on the long-term ability of families to sustain themselves. The results of this survey will provide information on the net worth (wealth) of Canadian families, that is, the value of their assets less their debts.
This paper examines the objectives of the survey, how the survey has changed since 1984, the types of questions being asked and information that will be provided, as well as other survey background. An accompanying table outlines the content of the questionnaire. The intent of this paper is to describe the work done to date and the next steps for this important subject.
Release date: 1999-09-27 - Notices and consultations: 13F0026M1999002Description:
This document summarizes the comments and feedback received on an earlier document: Towards a new Canadian asset and debt survey - A content discussion paper. The new asset and debt survey (now called the Survey of Financial Security) is to update the wealth information on Canadian families and unattached individuals. Since the last data collection was conducted in 1984, it was essential to include a consultative process in the development of the survey in order to obtain feedback on issues of concern and to define the conceptual framework for the survey.
Comments on the content discussion paper are summarized by major theme and sections indicate how the suggestions are being incorporated into the survey or why they could not be incorporated. This paper also mentions the main objectives of the survey and provides an overview of the survey content, revised according to the feedback from the discussion paper.
Release date: 1999-03-23 - Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 13F0031M2000001Description:
The 1993 System of National Accounts (SNA) was implemented in Canada in November 1997 and all national accounts series - annual, quarterly and monthly, both at current and constant prices - were revised back to 1961. There were changes in classification of sectors and transactions, concepts and methodology. As well, we removed the statistical breaks in earlier series that arose due to our revision policy. In the spring of every year, we revise, if necessary, our national accounts series for the latest four years. Statistical breaks for earlier periods are removed only at the time of historical revisions, such as the one done in November 1997. This was the fifth and the most comprehensive historical revision of the Canadian SNA series since 1961, the earlier ones were done in the late 1960s, the late 1970s, in 1985 and in 1990. As our historical revisions have been done almost every decade, and more frequently since the 1980s, statistical breaks in the Canadian system have remained only for a short period.
