- Articles and reports: 12-001-X201000211377Description:
We consider the problem of parameter estimation with auxiliary information, where the auxiliary information takes the form of known moments. Calibration estimation is a typical example of using the moment conditions in sample surveys. Given the parametric form of the original distribution of the sample observations, we use the estimated importance sampling of Henmi, Yoshida and Eguchi (2007) to obtain an improved estimator. If we use the normal density to compute the importance weights, the resulting estimator takes the form of the one-step exponential tilting estimator. The proposed exponential tilting estimator is shown to be asymptotically equivalent to the regression estimator, but it avoids extreme weights and has some computational advantages over the empirical likelihood estimator. Variance estimation is also discussed and results from a limited simulation study are presented.
Release date: 2010-12-21 - 2. Validation of cognitive functioning categories in the Canadian Community Health Survey -Healthy Aging ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201000411391Geography: CanadaDescription:
This analysis uses data from the Cognition Module of the 2009 Canadian Community Health Survey - Healthy Aging to validate a categorization of levels of cognitive functioning in the household population aged 45 or older.
Release date: 2010-12-15 - 3. Asthma and school functioning ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201000411363Geography: CanadaDescription:
Associations between asthma severity and standardized and parent-reported measures of school functioning are examined, based on a cross-sectional sample of school-aged children from the the third cycle (1998/1999) of the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth.
Release date: 2010-11-17 - 4. Neighbourhood variation in hospitalization for unintentional injury among children and teenagers ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201000411351Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study uses national hospital data to examine relationships between urban neighbourhood income and hospitalization for unintentional injury among children and teenagers.
Release date: 2010-10-20 - 5. Child care for First Nations children living off reserve, Métis children, and Inuit children ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X201000211344Geography: CanadaDescription:
Previous research has shown that child care has an impact on children's social and developmental outcomes. However, little is known about child care for First Nations, Métis and Inuit children. The purpose of this study is to describe non-parental child care for First Nations children living off reserve, Métis, and Inuit children in Canada, including the cultural aspects within the care environment. In addition, the availability of culturally-relevant activities and language spoken in care were examined as predictors of children's outcomes.

This study uses data from Statistics Canada's 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey to investigate the relationship between age, geographic region and risk factors for sexually transmitted infections in British Columbia.
Release date: 2010-09-15 - Articles and reports: 12-001-X201000111243Description:
The 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL) and the international Adult Literacy and Lifeskills (ALL) surveys each involved stratified multi-stage area sample designs. During the last stage, a household roster was constructed, the eligibility status of each individual was determined, and the selection procedure was invoked to randomly select one or two eligible persons within the household. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the within-household selection rules under a multi-stage design while improving the procedure in future literacy surveys. The analysis is based on the current US household size distribution and intracluster correlation coefficients using the adult literacy data. In our evaluation, several feasible household selection rules are studied, considering effects from clustering, differential sampling rates, cost per interview, and household burden. In doing so, an evaluation of within-household sampling under a two-stage design is extended to a four-stage design and some generalizations are made to multi-stage samples with different cost ratios.
