141. Examining expenditures on energy Archived
Articles and reports: 12-001-X198400114349
Description:
Using data from the Family Expenditures Surveys over time, consumer expenditures on in-home and transportation energy from 1969 to 1982 are being studied. This article briefly summarizes some of the procedures being used to explore the data, summarize it and develop insights into shifts in consumption for policy implications purposes. With such a complex data set and such a complex, multi-faceted subject for analysis some effort must be made to reduce information flows and at the same time increase the information content of each factor of both input and output in the analyses.

2. Residential Telephone Service Survey Archived
Public use microdata: 56M0001X
Description:
Statistics Canada was approached by Stentor Resource Centre Incorporated to conduct a survey to monitor the telephone penetration rates across Canada. The survey determines if the respondents have a telephone line in their residence. If they do not have a telephone line, information is collected as to the reasons why. Information is also collected on the income characteristics of the selected households.
The management of the survey was transferred from Stentor to Bell Canada in the Fall of 1998.
The Labour Force Survey (LFS) supplementary capacity is used to conduct this biannual survey. A sample of approximately 44,000 respondents is used for this survey (five out of six rotation groups). The survey data are collected using Computer Assisted Interviewing (CAI). The first data collection procedure took place during November's LFS week in 1996.
This microdata file is prepared biannually and contains the variables from the survey, plus geographical variables from the LFS (province, census metropolitan area, urban/rural breakdown). No other variables from the LFS are added to the file.

3. Youth Smoking Survey Archived
Public use microdata: 82M0011X
Description:
The main objective of the 2002 Youth Smoking Survey (YSS) is to provide current information on the smoking behaviour of students in grades 5 to 9 (in Quebec primary school grades 5 and 6 and secondary school grades 1 to 3), and to measure changes that occurred since the last time the survey was conducted in 1994. Additionally, the 2002 survey collected basic data on alcohol and drug use by students in grades 7 to 9 (in Quebec secondary 1 to 3). Results of the Youth Smoking Survey will help with the evaluation of anti-smoking and anti-drug use programs, as well as with the development of new programs.

4. Adult Education and Training Survey, Documentation and Data Files Archived
Public use microdata: 81M0013X
Description:
The Adult Education and Training Survey (AETS) is Canada's most comprehensive source of data on individual participation in formal adult education and training. It is the only Canadian survey to collect detailed information about the skill development efforts of the entire adult Canadian population. The AETS provides information about the main subject of training activities, their provider, duration and the sources and types of support for training. Furthermore, the AETS allows for the examination of the socio-economic and demographic profiles of both training participants and non-participants. This survey also identifies barriers faced by individuals who wish to take some form of training but cannot. The AETS was administered three times during the 1990s, in 1992, 1994 and 1998, as a supplement to the Labour Force Survey (LFS).
The content of the AETS was revised to take into account recommendations coming from consultation exercises. As a result, more than half of the 2003 survey is made up of new questions and the target population has been modified.
The main objectives are:1) To measure the incidence and intensity of adults' participation in job-related formal training.2) To profile employer support to job-related formal training.3) To analyze the aspects of job-related training activities such as: training provider, expenses, financial support, motivations, outcomes and difficulties experienced while training.4) To identify the barriers preventing individuals from participating in the job-related formal training they want or need to take.5) To identify reasons explaining adults' lack of participation and of interest in job-related formal training.6) To relate adults' current participation patterns to their past involvement in and plans about future participation in job-related training.7) To measure the incidence and frequency of adults' participation in job-related informal training.8) To examine the interactions between participation in formal and informal job-related training.
The population covered by the AETS consists of Canadians 25 years of age and older. This is a change from the population previously targeted by the AETS, which consisted of Canadians aged 17 years of age and older. A primary consideration for this change was the practical difficulties in applying the definition of adult education to individuals in the 17 to 24 years of age group. By definition, adult education excludes students who are still involved in their first or initial stage of schooling. As previous AETS did not precisely identify students still in their initial stage of schooling, analyses using these data had to rely on an ad hoc definition of adult learners. According to this definition, individuals aged 17 to 24 who were not in one of the following situations were excluded from the analysis: full-time students subsidized by an employer and full-time students over 19 enrolled in elementary or secondary programs.

54. Imputing distributions in administrative tax data Archived
Articles and reports: 11-522-X20050019458
Description:
The proposed paper presents an alternative methodology that gives the data the possibility of defining homogenous groups determined by a bottom up classification of the values of observed details. The problem is then to assign a non respondent business to one of these groups. Several assignment procedures, based on explanatory variables available in the tax returns, are compared, using gross or distributed data: parametric and non parametric classification analyses, log linear models, etc.

55. Discrimination coefficient of variation: an improved measure of precision of estimates Archived
Articles and reports: 11-522-X20050019461
Description:
We propose a generalization of the usual coefficient of variation (CV) to address some of the known problems when used in measuring quality of estimates. Some of the problems associated with CV include interpretation when the estimate is near zero, and the inconsistency in the interpretation about precision when computed for different one-to-one monotonic transformations.

57. Innovation Capabilities: The Knowledge Capital Behind the Survival and Growth of Firms Archived
Articles and reports: 11-622-M2006013
Geography: Canada
Description:
This paper summarizes the findings of a research program aimed at outlining the importance to the firm growth process of competencies that arise from investments in intangible assets. The program has consisted of two parts. First, longitudinal databases have provided a rich set of studies on entry, exit, mergers and other aspects of dynamics related to growth and decline in firm populations. These studies have shown the pervasiveness of growth and decline in the firm population. By themselves, these studies do not demonstrate what strategies differentiate the most successful from the least successful. To do so, we have built a set of firm surveys that allowed profiles to be developed of the type of competencies that stem from investments in organizational capital. In turn, these are linked to administrative data that allow us to classify firms as either growing or declining. We then asked how differences in competencies were related to the performance of firms.

58. Rounding guidelines for post-censal surveys and the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada Archived
Articles and reports: 12-002-X20060019253
Description:
Before any analytical results are released from the Research Data Centres (RDCs), RDC analysts must conduct disclosure risk analysis (or vetting). RDC analysts apply Statistics Canada's disclosure control guidelines, when reviewing all analytical output, as a means of ensuring the protection of survey respondents' confidentiality. For some data sets, such as the Aboriginal People's Survey (APS), Ethnic Diversity Survey (EDS), the Participation, Activity and Limitation Survey (PALS) and the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada (LSIC), Statistics Canada has developed an additional set of guidelines that involve rounding analytical results, in order to ensure further confidentiality protection. This article will discuss the rationale for the additional rounding procedures used for these data sets, and describe the specifics of the rounding guidelines. More importantly, this paper will suggest several approaches to assist researchers in following these protocols more effectively and efficiently.

60. Spatio-temporal models in small area estimation Archived
Articles and reports: 12-001-X20050029053
Description:
A spatial regression model in a general mixed effects model framework has been proposed for the small area estimation problem. A common autocorrelation parameter across the small areas has resulted in the improvement of the small area estimates. It has been found to be very useful in the cases where there is little improvement in the small area estimates due to the exogenous variables. A second order approximation to the mean squared error (MSE) of the empirical best linear unbiased predictor (EBLUP) has also been worked out. Using the Kalman filtering approach, a spatial temporal model has been proposed. In this case also, a second order approximation to the MSE of the EBLUP has been obtained. As a case study, the time series monthly per capita consumption expenditure (MPCE) data from the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) of the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, Government of India, have been used for the validation of the models.
