A robust Internet typology is essential for monitoring how individuals are responding to the digital transformation and for assessing the divide between digital ‘haves’ and ‘have nots.’ Individuals’ capacities to use the Internet and digital technologies are an important aspect of this digital divide. Using data from the 2018 Canadian Internet Use Survey (CIUS), this study presents an Internet-use typology that is based on the range and complexity of online activities and digital skills that Canadians report they perform. Five Internet-user groups are identified.

As part of processing for the 2021 Canadian Census, the write-in responses to 31 census questions must be coded. Up until, and including, 2016, this was a three stage process, including an “interactive (human) coding” step as the second stage. This human coding step is both lengthy and expensive, spanning many months and requiring the hiring and training of a large number of temporary employees. With this in mind, for 2021, this stage was either augmented with or replaced entirely by machine learning models using the "fastText" algorithm. This presentation will discuss the implementation of this algorithm and the challenges and decisions taken along the way.

Release date: 2021-11-05 - Articles and reports: 11-522-X202100100012Description: The modernization of price statistics by National Statistical Offices (NSO) such as Statistics Canada focuses on the adoption of alternative data sources that include the near-universe of all products sold in the country, a scale that requires machine learning classification of the data. The process of evaluating classifiers to select appropriate ones for production, as well as monitoring classifiers once in production, needs to be based on robust metrics to measure misclassification. As commonly utilized metrics, such as the Fß-score may not take into account key aspects applicable to prices statistics in all cases, such as unequal importance of categories, a careful consideration of the metric space is necessary to select appropriate methods to evaluate classifiers. This working paper provides insight on the metric space applicable to price statistics and proposes an operational framework to evaluate and monitor classifiers, focusing specifically on the needs of the Canadian Consumer Prices Index and demonstrating discussed metrics using a publicly available dataset.

Release date: 2021-11-05 - Articles and reports: 11-522-X202100100013Description: Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey (LFS) plays a fundamental role in the mandate of Statistics Canada. The labour market information provided by the LFS is among the most timely and important measures of the Canadian economy’s overall performance. An integral part of the LFS monthly data processing is the coding of respondent’s industry according to the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS), occupation according to the National Occupational Classification System (NOC) and the Primary Class of Workers (PCOW). Each month, up to 20,000 records are coded manually. In 2020, Statistics Canada worked on developing Machine Learning models using fastText to code responses to the LFS questionnaire according to the three classifications mentioned previously. This article will provide an overview on the methodology developed and results obtained from a potential application of the use of fastText into the LFS coding process.

In line with the path taken by the European Statistical System, Istat is investing on innovative methods to harness Big Data sources and to use them for the production of new and enriched Official Statistics products. Big Data sources are not, in general, directly tractable with traditional statistical techniques, just think of specific data types such as images and texts that are examples of the Variety dimension of Big Data. This motivates and justifies the growing interest of National Statistical Institutes in data science techniques. Istat is currently using data science techniques, including machine learning techniques, in innovation projects and for the publication of experimental statistics. This paper will provide an overview of the main current projects by Istat and will focus on two specific Big Data-based production pipelines, related to the processing of respectively text sources and imagery sources. The paper will highlight the main challenges these two pipelines and the solutions put in place to solve them.

Use of auxiliary data to improve the efficiency of estimators of totals and means through model-assisted survey regression estimation has received considerable attention in recent years. Generalized regression (GREG) estimators, based on a working linear regression model, are currently used in establishment surveys at Statistics Canada and several other statistical agencies. GREG estimators use common survey weights for all study variables and calibrate to known population totals of auxiliary variables. Increasingly, many auxiliary variables are available, some of which may be extraneous. This leads to unstable GREG weights when all the available auxiliary variables, including interactions among categorical variables, are used in the working linear regression model. On the other hand, new machine learning methods, such as regression trees and lasso, automatically select significant auxiliary variables and lead to stable nonnegative weights and possible efficiency gains over GREG. In this paper, a simulation study, based on a real business survey sample data set treated as the target population, is conducted to study the relative performance of GREG, regression trees and lasso in terms of efficiency of the estimators.
Key Words: Model assisted inference; calibration estimation; model selection; generalized regression estimator.
Release date: 2021-10-29 - Articles and reports: 11-522-X202100100018Description: Statistics Finland started publishing nowcasts of the trend indicator of output (TIO), the monthly indicator of real economic activity, to answer users´ needs during the Covid-19 pandemic. The indicator was first published in April 2020, at the very beginning of the pandemic in Finland, and had a monthly release schedule until June 2021. The TIO nowcasts are produced using open-source data on truck traffic volumes at about 100 automatic measuring points in the Helsinki/Uusimaa -region and the Economic Sentiment Indicator for Finland. Estimation is done using a machine learning approach and the methodology is based on previous work done by Statistics Finland and ETLA Economic Research.

Growing Regression Trees that Use Sampling Frame Covariates to Explore Response Burden for Use in Survey Design ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X202100100024Description: The Economic Directorate of the U.S. Census Bureau is developing coordinated design and sample selection procedures for the Annual Integrated Economic Survey. The unified sample will replace the directorate’s existing practice of independently developing sampling frames and sampling procedures for a suite of separate annual surveys, which optimizes sample design features at the cost of increased response burden. Size attributes of business populations, e.g., revenues and employment, are highly skewed. A high percentage of companies operate in more than one industry. Therefore, many companies are sampled into multiple surveys compounding the response burden, especially for “medium sized” companies. This component of response burden is reduced by selecting a single coordinated sample but will not be completely alleviated. Response burden is a function of several factors, including (1) questionnaire length and complexity, (2) accessibility of data, (3) expected number of repeated measures, and (4) frequency of collection. The sample design can have profound effects on the third and fourth factors. To help inform decisions about the integrated sample design, we use regression trees to identify covariates from the sampling frame that are related to response burden. Using historic frame and response data from four independently sampled surveys, we test a variety of algorithms, then grow regression trees that explain relationships between expected levels of response burden (as measured by response rate) and frame covariates common to more than one survey. We validate initial findings by cross-validation, examining results over time. Finally, we make recommendations on how to incorporate our robust findings into the coordinated sample design.Release date: 2021-10-29

We propose a longitudinal analysis with a point of view connected to the organizational changes that have taken place in the Italian National Institute of Statistics in recent years. In 2016 the Institute introduced a new Directorate, intending to standardize and generalize the business process of Data Collection according to the European standard of the GAMSO model. The paper discusses the pros and cons of this change from the perspective of the survey's participation. The ICT survey response rate analysis demonstrates an increase of around 20% since the beginning of the new organization: the paper tries to focus on the impact of the changes introduced with the new organization. We focused our attention on two specific subsets of respondents - the so-called "wanted" - the ones who have never answered to an ICT survey or to any other Istat survey and - the so-called “lost” - the ones included in two consecutive survey’s samples and that answered in the previous edition but not in the current one. The paper aims to illustrate how an efficient organization of data collection reflects its benefits on survey results and what kind of actions should be taken to catch the attention of the "wanted". Finally, we apply a logistic model measuring the probability that an enterprise responding in 2018 (t-1) also answered in 2019 (t). All the analysis suggests some actions that could be taken to improve respondents' participation, data quality, and respondents' perception of the official statistics.

The Government of Canada’s Directive on Open Government aims to ensure that Canadians have greater access to government data and information. One solution for open data is smart synthetic files, which retain as much analytical value as possible and take into account confidentiality issues that arise from collecting personal information. In recent years, Statistics Canada has acquired a recognized expertise in producing synthetic data files of high analytical value. In a current project, Statistics Canada is tackling a new challenge to synthesize a database and preserve hierarchical structures in the form of families, where records are linked and share common traits that must be maintained. These challenges are also encountered when synthesizing structured data such as business data. This paper presents the challenges and solutions for building synthetic data with such hierarchical structures. Application of this strategy will be illustrated with the development of a synthetic database that supports the development of retirement income policies. This database includes over 20 variables and 8 million records structured into approximately 4 million family units. We will present how family structures have been preserved, discuss the practical and technical challenges inherent in developing such a large and complex database, present the risk and utility of the data, and propose avenues for future research.
Keywords: synthetic data of high analytical value; family structures; modern data access solution.

Privacy concerns are a barrier to applying remote analytics, including machine learning, on sensitive data via the cloud. In this work, we use a leveled fully Homomorphic Encryption scheme to train an end-to-end supervised machine learning algorithm to classify texts while protecting the privacy of the input data points. We train our single-layer neural network on a large simulated dataset, providing a practical solution to a real-world multi-class text classification task. To improve both accuracy and training time, we train an ensemble of such classifiers in parallel using ciphertext packing.

Many Government of Canada groups are developing codes to process and visualize various kinds data, often duplicating each other’s efforts, with sub-optimal efficiency and limited level of code quality reviewing. This paper informally presents a working-level approach to addressing this technical problem. The idea is to collaboratively build a common repository of code and knowledgebase for use by anyone in the public sector to perform many common data science tasks, and, in doing that, help each other to master both the data science coding skills and the industry standard collaborative practices. The paper explains why R language is used as the language of choice for collaborative data science code development. It summaries R advantages and addresses its limitations, establishes the taxonomy of discussion topics of highest interested to the GC data scientists working with R, provides an overview of used collaborative platforms, and presents the results obtained to date. Even though the code knowledgebase is developed mainly in R, it is meant to be valuable also for data scientists coding in Python and other development environments.

Trends in population growth and the evolution of the various components of Canada's population growth - fertility, mortality and migration (interprovincial and international) - as well as marital status, are examined. The Report on the Demographic Situation in Canada has been published annually or biennially since 1985. Beginning in 2011, the Report is available as a dynamic, internet-only publication in order to provide the most recent data and analyses on Canadian demographics as soon as they are available.
