This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
Statistics can serve to benefit society, but, if manipulated politically or otherwise, statistics may also be used by the powerful as instruments to maintain the status quo or even to oppress. Statisticians working internationally, usually employed by international, supra-national or bilateral agencies, face a range of problems as they try to 'make a difference' in the lives of the poorest people in the world. One of the most difficult challenges statisticians face is the dilemma between open accountability and national sovereignty (in relation to what data are collected, the methods used and who is to have access to the results). Because of increasing globalization and new modalities of development co-operation and partnership, statisticians work in a constantly changing environment.
This paper addresses the problems of improving the quality of cross-national data. This paper aims to raise consciousness of the role of statisticians at the international level; describe some of the constraints under which statisticians work; address principles which ought to govern the general activities of statisticians; and evaluate, in particular, the relevance of such principles to international statisticians. This paper also draws upon the recent Presidential Address to the Royal Statistical Society (Presented June 2001, JRSS Series D forthcoming).

This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
In order to compensate for unreported, missing, unreasonable, or unusable data, the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program conducts data estimations and imputations using a variety of statistical methods. This paper illustrates how offence and arrest data are estimated using a variety of different approaches. The paper also points out the strengths and the shortcomings of each approach.
Release date: 2002-09-12 - 213. How important is accuracy? ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X20010016311Description:
This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
These notes discuss the importance of accuracy within the broader framework of data quality, which has been adopted by many statistical agencies.
Accuracy is a product or service characteristic. The data quality process influences how accuracy and quality attributes, such as timeliness, relevance, accessibility, etc., are achieved. This paper studies Deming's ideas, as well as those of Juran and many others. It supports the distinction and disentanglement of these two kinds of data quality, both which have been themes at the Conference.

Release date: 2002-08-06 - Articles and reports: 12-001-X20010026097Description:
A compositional time series is defined as a multivariate time series in which each of the series has values bounded between zero and one and the sum of the series equals one at each time point. Data with such characteristics are observed in repeated surveys when a survey variable has a multinomial response but interest lies in the proportion of units classified in each of its categories. In this case, the survey estimates are proportions of a whole subject to a unity-sum constraint. In this paper we employ a state space approach for modelling compositional time series from repeated surveys taking into account the sampling errors. The additive logistic transformation is used in order to guarantee predictions and signal estimates bounded between zero and one which satisfy the unity-sum constraint. The method is applied to compositional data from the Brazilian Labour Force Survey. Estimates of the vector of proportions and the unemployment rate are obtained. In addition, the structural components of the signal vector, such as the seasonals and the trends, are produced.

For most of the post-war period, Canada and the United States have utilized an open regime to govern trade relations between the two countries. Such has not always been the case for transborder air services, however. In 1966, the two countries signed an air services accord (ASA) that governed commercial air services between the two. The 1966 accord was quite restrictive, limiting entry and price competition in transborder markets. This restrictive agreement governed Canada-U.S. air service for almost 30 years, finally being replaced in 1995 with a new ASA that has granted entry and pricing freedom in transborder markets.

Release date: 2001-03-13 - 220. Changes in the Outputs of Annual Retail Trade Surveys ArchivedNotices and consultations: 63F0022XDescription:
Statistics Canada's annual retail trade surveys are undergoing changes. Two activities underlie these changes. The re-design of our annual retail trade questionnaires is one. The other is the conversion from the 1980 Standard Industrial Classification (1980 SIC) to the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS). These activities will have significant impacts on the output of the annual surveys.
This paper has two goals. The first is to inform retail store data users, industry analysts, trade associations and other stakeholders about these changes. The second is to consult with stakeholders on possible data outputs resulting from the changes.
The paper is organized into five parts. Following the introduction, Part II describes the outputs from the current surveys and compares and contrasts the current outputs with the new. Part III focuses on the introduction of NAICS codes and the changes in coverage for retail trade. In Part IV, the benefits resulting from the above changes are outlined. The final part (Part V) seeks comments or suggestions from data users, retail trade associations and industry specialists on the release of data products as a result of the changes to the surveys.

- Public use microdata: 95M0029XDescription: This hierarchical file provides data on the characteristics of the population. The 2006 Census Public Use Microdata Files (PUMFs) contain samples of anonymous responses to the 2006 Census questionnaire. The files have been carefully scrutinized to ensure the complete confidentiality of the individual responses.

Tabulations excluded from other census products can be created or relationships between variables can be analysed using different statistical tests. PUMFs provide quick access to a comprehensive social and economic database about Canada and its people.
Most of the subject matter covered by the census is included in the microdata files. To ensure the respondents' anonymity, geographic identifiers have been restricted to provinces/territories and large metropolitan areas.
This product, offered on CD-ROM, contains the data file (in ASCII format), user documentation and SAS and SPSS program source codes to enable you to read the set of records. Note: users will require knowledge of data manipulation and retrieval software such as SAS or SPSS to be able to use this product.

This paper states how SN is preparing for a new era in the making of statistics, as it is triggered by technological and methodological developments. An essential feature of the turn to the new era is the farewell to the stovepipe way of data processing. The paper discusses how new technological and methodological tools will affect processes and their organization. Special emphasis is put on one of the major chances and challenges the new tools offer: establishing coherence in the content of statistics and in the presentation to users.
Release date: 2000-03-02 - Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 11-522-X19990015644Description:
One method of enriching survey data is to supplement information collected directly from the respondent with that obtained from administrative systems. The aims of such a practice include being able to collect data which might not otherwise be possible, provision of better quality information for data items which respondents may not be able to report accurately (or not at all) reduction of respondent load, and maximising the utility of information held in administrative systems. Given the direct link with administrative information, the data set resulting from such techniques is potentially a powerful basis for policy-relevant analysis and evaluation. However, the processes involved in effectively combining data from different sources raise a number of challenges which need to be addressed by the parties involved. These include issues associated with privacy, data linking, data quality, estimation, and dissemination.
