  • 1. An information-rich environment: linked-record systems and data quality in Canada Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-522-X20010016238
    Description:

    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.

    Research programs building on population-based, longitudinal administrative data and record-linkage techniques are found in England, Scotland, the United States (the Mayo Clinic), Western Australia and Canada. These systems can markedly expand both the methodological and the substantive research in health and health care.

    This paper summarizes published, Canadian data quality studies regarding registries, hospital discharges, prescription drugs, and physician claims. It makes suggestions for improving registries, facilitating record linkage and expanding research into social epidemiology. New trends in case identification and health status measurement using administrative data have also been noted. And the differing needs for data quality research in each province have been highlighted.

    Articles and reports: 11-522-X20010016244
    Description:

    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.

    Over the past few years, Statistics New Zealand (SNZ) has experienced an increase in the volume of business survey data supplied by e-mail. However, up until now, SNZ has not had the business processes available to support electronic collection in a way that meets both the needs of SNZ and data suppliers. To this end, SNZ has invested a lot of effort over the last year in investigating how best to approach the problems and opportunities presented by electronic data collection. This paper outlines SNZ's plans to move the e-mail supplied data to a secure lodgement facility and the future development of an internet-based data collection system. It also presents a case study of the Monthly Retail Trade Survey data currently supplied by e-mail. This case study illustrates some of the benefits of electronic data, but also examines some of the costs to the organization and the data quality problems encountered. It also highlights the need to consider the data collection methodology within the wider context of the total survey cycle.

    Articles and reports: 11-522-X20010016262
    Description:

    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.

    The demand for information on the electronic economy requires statistical agencies to assess the relevancy and improve the quality of their existing measurement programs. Innovations at the U.S. Census Bureau have helped the Bureau meet the user's urgent needs for this information, and improve the quality of the data. Through research conducted at the U.S. Census Bureau, as well as tapping into the expertise of academia, the private sector, and other government agencies, the new data on electronic commerce and electronic business processes has been strengthened. Using both existing and new data, the U.S. Census Bureau has discovered that research provides new key estimates of the size, scope, and impact of the new economy.

  • 4. The development of the UK annual business inquiry Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-522-X20010016263
    Description:

    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.

    This paper describes the Annual Business Inquiry (ABI) project to integrate the Office for National Statistics' (ONS) main, annual business surveys, regardless of economic sectors. The ABI project also brings together employment and financial data surveys and is capable of generating a wide range of subnational analyses, another objective of the development. Methodological aspects covered by the paper include sample design; estimation and outlier treatment; apportionment of data from reporting units to local units (individual sites) and the methodology for subnational and small area estimation. The subnational methodology involves the use of logistic and loglinear models.

  • 5. Using national registrations to correct for selective non-response: political preference of ethnic groups Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-522-X20010016268
    Description:

    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.

    This paper deals with non-response bias, discussing a few approaches in this field. It is demonstrated that non-response bias as to voter turnout is lower in a survey on living conditions than in a purely political survey. In addition, auxiliary information from registrations is used to investigate non-response and its bias among ethnic groups. Response rates among ethnic minority groups are rather low, but there is no evidence that response rates are less in lower social class areas. Correcting for limited socioeconomic deviations does not affect the distributions of political preference.

    Description:

    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.

    The Integrated Metadatabase is a corporate repository of information for each of Statistics Canada's surveys. The information stored in the Integrated Metadatabase includes a description of data sources and methodology, definitions of concepts and variables measured, and indicators of data quality. It provides an effective vehicle for communicating data quality to data users. Its coverage of Statistics Canada's data holdings is exhaustive, the provided information on data quality complies with the Policy on Informing Users of Data Quality and Methodology, and it is presented in a consistent and systematic fashion.

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.
