  • 10,731. An investigation of the properties of raking ratio estimators: I with simple random sampling Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X197700100004
    Description: The 1971 and 1976 Censuses of Population and Housing have utilized the raking ratio estimation procedure to obtain estimates for variables collected only on a sample basis. This paper derives large sample approximations for the bias and variance of such estimates and examines their performance in an empirical study.

  • 10,732. Redesign of the sour cherry, peach and grape objective yield surveys in the Niagara Peninsula Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X197700100005
    Description: Objective yield surveys have been conducted annually in the Niagara Peninsula since 1964. The aim of each of these annual surveys is to provide a forecast of the marketable production change in the region from the previous year. These estimates are determined far enough in advance of the harvest to enable them to serve as important factors in price negotiations between growers and processors, as well as indicators of particular crop situations which could necessitate immediate changes in strategy by the marketing agencies. In 1973 an extensive redesign project was initiated. This report provides a summary of the sample design, data collection procedures and estimation procedures which were incorporated in the redesign of the sour cherry, peach and grape objective yield surveys.

  • 10,733. Some estimators of population totals from simple random samples containing large units Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X197700100006
    Description: The problem considered is the estimation of population total of some characteristic from a simple random sample containing a few large or extreme observations. The effect of these large units in the sample is to distort the estimate of the population total. It is therefore important to correct the weights for such units or deflate their values at the estimation stage once they have been sampled and identified as unusually large units. In this paper, three estimators which alter the usual sampling weights have been considered. The efficiencies of these estimators have been worked out in terms of the ratio of the variance of the usual estimator of the population total to the mean square error of these estimators. An empirical study of these estimators is also discussed.

  • 10,734. Adjustment for non-response in surveys Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X197700100007
    Description: The paper attempts to examine some of the procedures used for compensation for non-response. Using the concept of response probabilities, a simple response - non-response error model is developed and the components of response and non-response errors are identified under various imputation procedures. A graph is also given in order to provide an idea of the magnitude of the non­response bias in a particular situation. Two examples of the practical application of imputation are discussed.

  • 10,735. Rotation group biases in the old and new Labour Force Survey Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X197600200001
    Description: This paper presents results on rotation group biases in the Canadian Labour Force Survey (LFS). The biases are studied in detail by decomposition into components responsible for the biases. Also, a comparison between the old and the new LFS is done on the basis of 1975 parallel run and differences are analyzed. Some conclusions are drawn and recommendations for other studies presented.

  • 10,736. Stratification index: Methodology and analysis Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X197600200002
    Description: To obtain estimates of means or totals for a universe, a sample of units is often drawn to represent the universe and these units are then surveyed. One of the most important procedures used in the selection of the units is that of stratification, whereby the universe is split up into strata and independent samples of units are drawn from each stratum. A stratification index is developed to indicate the approximate fractional reduction in the sampling variance from that which would result if no stratification were undertaken. Also the methodology is extended to examine the effect of stratification on the sampling variance at different levels of stratification through the concept of a summary index. The stratification index is also extended to the case of ratio estimates using independent source data to re-weight the sample data. The index has been applied to the Canadian Labour Force Survey (LFS), a typical multi-stage stratified sample where ratio estimation, using projected age-sex population estimates is applied and empirical data are presented and analyzed.

  • 10,737. 1974 Survey of Housing Units Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X197600200003
    Description: The 1974 Survey of Housing Units was carried out by Statistics Canada on behalf of the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation during the autumn of 1974. Statistics Canada's responsibilities on this project included the design and implementation of all phases of the survey up to and including the production of "clean" micro data tapes. The sponsoring department was in turn responsible for the specification of objectives and data requirements and for the analysis of the resulting data.

    This report, which is a modification of the summary report produced by the project team at the conclusion of the project, provides a general description of the survey and the work done by Statistics Canada on the survey.

  • 10,738. The estimation of total variance in the 1976 Census Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X197600200004
    Description: Published reports for the 1976 Census will include estimates of Total Variance as indicators of the reliability of the figures in these reports. In order to obtain these estimates of Total Variance, an Interpenetrating Design Experiment was incorporated into the collection methods for a sample of enumeration areas. In this paper we derive the formula for Total Variance in terms of variances due to sampling, correlated response and simple response. We then show how the Total Variance, and its components, can be estimated from the design and we give the estimators that will be used for the 1976 Census. The estimates of sampling and correlated response variance are unbiased but the simple response variance estimate is not.

  • 10,739. The methodology of the 1971 Reverse Record Check Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X197600200005
    Description: The 1971 Reverse Record Check is one of the most important studies that were carried out as part of the 1971 Census Evaluation Programme. Its main purpose was to investigate the incidence of under-enumeration in the 1971 Census. To do this, a frame containing all persons who should be enumerated in the 1971 Census was built up from the 1966 Census returns, plus birth and immigrant registrations. A random sample was selected from the frame and each selected person was traced to his current Census address. Current Census returns were then checked to see whether or not the selected person was enumerated. Sample figures were weighted up to the population level to obtain estimates of undercoverage. This paper gives a general description of the methodology of this study, and indicates some of the resulting improvements incorporated for 1976.
