  • 1. Towards an integrated census-administrative data approach to item-level imputation for the 2021 UK Census Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-522-X201700014715
    Description:

    In preparation for 2021 UK Census the ONS has committed to an extensive research programme exploring how linked administrative data can be used to support conventional statistical processes. Item-level edit and imputation (E&I) will play an important role in adjusting the 2021 Census database. However, uncertainty associated with the accuracy and quality of available administrative data renders the efficacy of an integrated census-administrative data approach to E&I unclear. Current constraints that dictate an anonymised ‘hash-key’ approach to record linkage to ensure confidentiality add to that uncertainty. Here, we provide preliminary results from a simulation study comparing the predictive and distributional accuracy of the conventional E&I strategy implemented in CANCEIS for the 2011 UK Census to that of an integrated approach using synthetic administrative data with systematically increasing error as auxiliary information. In this initial phase of research we focus on imputing single year of age. The aim of the study is to gain insight into whether auxiliary information from admin data can improve imputation estimates and where the different strategies fall on a continuum of accuracy.

Search help

How do I use the filters and the search box?

  • You can initiate a search by entering keywords or selecting filters (e.g., under Subject, Geography, etc.) on the left side of the page.

  • Filters can be used together or in any combination. Each time you select a filter, the results on the page are updated.

  • To start a new search, click on the Clear all button above the search box or deselect each filter.

  • Specified keywords and filters appear above the search box. You can deselect any or all the tags to refine or clear your search.

How do I refine my search?

  • You can enter keywords in the search box. It is not necessary to use “+” or “, “ or “AND”.

  • You can delete some or all of the keywords from your search string.

  • Quotes around keywords limit the search to a specific phrase.

    • For example, “labour force survey” will limit results to products containing this phrase.

  • Use “or” between keywords to obtain results that contain one or more search terms.

    • For example, labour or­ force or survey will limit results to products containing any or all of these words.

How does the search work?

  • This search looks for results that have your query term in the title, description, subject, geography, product number or other information about the product.

    • For example, when searching the term ‘Diseases’, all results with the word ‘Diseases’ in the title, description or tagged the subject appear.

  • The text within an article or publication are not searched. For full text searching of articles, use the site search.

Sort help

How are the results ordered?

The Sort by feature provides three options:

  • By date – sorts results by product release date starting with the most recent.
  • By relevance is only needed or beneficial when you use the search box and submit a search query. Results are ordered by a combination of where the search term appears in the content, e.g., if it appears in the title, it likely means the product is more relevant to your search; how up to date or new the content in the product is; how popular the product is; and other factors.
  • By title – sorts results alphabetically.

How are the results ordered?

The Sort by feature provides four options:

  • By date – sorts results by product release date starting with the most recent.
  • By most popular – gives priority to results that are most frequently selected by users, followed by the most recent.
  • By relevance is only needed or beneficial when you use the search box and submit a search query. Results are ordered by a combination of where the search term appears in the content, e.g., if it appears in the title, it likely means the product is more relevant to your search; how up to date or new the content in the product is; how popular the product is; and other factors.
  • By title – sorts results alphabetically.
