  • 232. Semiparametric model-assisted estimation for natural resource surveys Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X20070019850
    Description:

    Auxiliary information is often used to improve the precision of survey estimators of finite population means and totals through ratio or linear regression estimation techniques. Resulting estimators have good theoretical and practical properties, including invariance, calibration and design consistency. However, it is not always clear that ratio or linear models are good approximations to the true relationship between the auxiliary variables and the variable of interest in the survey, resulting in efficiency loss when the model is not appropriate. In this article, we explain how regression estimation can be extended to incorporate semiparametric regression models, in both simple and more complicated designs. While maintaining the good theoretical and practical properties of the linear models, semiparametric models are better able to capture complicated relationships between variables. This often results in substantial gains in efficiency. The applicability of the approach for complex designs using multiple types of auxiliary variables will be illustrated by estimating several acidification-related characteristics for a survey of lakes in the Northeastern US.

  • 235. Solid waste in Canada Archived
    Articles and reports: 16-201-X20050008657
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Waste has always been a by-product of human activity. Indeed, all aspects of our lives - working, playing, eating - generate some form of waste. Managing it has been a challenge for millennia, more so since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century gave rise to unprecedented industrialization and urbanization. Canadians are concerned today about many waste-related issues. These include: The generation of waste - how much garbage is produced in Canada, and is production going up or down? The impact of waste on the environment - has the way we deal with garbage changed over the years? What are governments and others doing to address these concerns? This article examines these issues by creating a statistical portrait of solid waste in Canada.

    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Zero tillage is a relatively recent innovation on Canadadian farms however, it may not always be suitable for all crop and soil conditions. Zero till practices matched appropriately to crop and field conditions have the potential to reduce agriculture's impacts on the environment and lower energy and labour costs. The main sources of data are from Statistics Canada's 2001 Farm Environmental Management Survey (FEMS) and the 2001 Census of Agriculture.

    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    In the context of the progressive depletion of the world's fossil fuel reserves, energy research and development (R&D) is turning towards renewable resources. This article shows a rise during the period 2000 to 2002, compared with the period 1994 to 1996, in the share of R&D dedicated to energy "alternatives", and in particular to renewable energy resources. Between the same periods, expenditures for "traditional" types of energy R&D have fallen.
