  • 41. Interplay between sample survey theory and practice: An appraisal Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X20050029040
    Description:

    A large part of sample survey theory has been directly motivated by practical problems encountered in the design and analysis of sample surveys. On the other hand, sample survey theory has influenced practice, often leading to significant improvements. This paper will examine this interplay over the past 60 years or so. Examples where new theory is needed or where theory exists but is not used will also be presented.

  • 50. Leslie Kish's impact on survey statistics Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X200200113019
    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.

    Leslie Kish, one of the pioneers of survey sampling, died on October 7, 2000, at the age of 90. This paper reviews how he has influenced survey statistics, mainly in terms of his research, but also in terms of his world-wide promotion of sound probability sampling methods. Kish's research had a broad range, covering sampling methods; non-sampling errors; small area estimation; observational studies; variance estimation and design effects; and survey designs across time and space. He promoted probability sampling designs through his writings, international consultancies , and in particular, through the highly effective, intensive summer Sampling Program for Foreign Statisticians that he established at the Survey Research Center of the University of Michigan.

  • 6. Participation and Activity Limitation Survey 2006: Technical and methodological report Archived
    Stats in brief: 89-628-X2007001
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    The Participation and Activity Limitation Survey (PALS) is Canada's national survey that gathers information about adults and children whose daily activities are limited by a physical, mental, or other health-related condition or problem.

    This report presents some basic information about the survey and an overview of the methodological and content changes between the 2001 and 2006 PALS. The major difference involves a change in coverage resulting from the inclusion of a number of aboriginal communities, the addition of the three territories, and the modification to the definition of collective dwellings.

  • 9. Purchasing Power Parities and Real Expenditures, United States and Canada - An Update to 1998 Archived
    Stats in brief: 13-604-M1999036
    Description:

    Recent economic trends, including expanding globalization of trade (as evidenced by new trade agreements), volatility in market exchange rates, and greater interest in international comparisons of real income and productivity are generating increased interest in intercountry comparisons. These comparisons are made in real terms derived from purchasing power parities (PPPs). In Canada, a particularly important relationship with the United States focusses attention on US/Canada comparative price and volume measures. This article includes updated annual bilateral volume indexes of real gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and its components for the United States, compared with Canada, and the associated PPPs.

This scheme did not allow a prepared paper, and my impromptu comments tended to be discussive. Below is a summary of my main points, leaving out anecdotes and examples used in the actual talk.

  • 75. Comparison groups and survey research Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X198000254949
    Description: This paper deals with the desirability of designing surveys in such a way that results can be compared to previous existing data. The writer explains why there are practical difficulties in assessing the significance of data collected in a one-time survey where these data stand alone and are not readily comparable to other existing data, i.e., where control group data or other benchmarks do not exist.

  • 76. Commissioning research - The business relationship Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X198000254950
    Description: The government survey sponsor should plan carefully what he expects to get from the supplier, specifying who is to do what, when, including details of what the sponsor will do. If there are many eligible suppliers, only a small number should be invited to submit proposals, increasing as the value of the contract increases. Procedures for screening suppliers and selecting the successful one should be organized before proposals are received. These should include visits to review suppliers, facilities and organization, as a good relationship between a sponsor and a supplier depends largely on good faith and willing cooperation. Sponsor-supplier relationships are more formal, and more time-consuming in the selection process, than in the private sector.

  • 1. Standing on the shoulders of giants History of Statistics Canada: 1970 to 2008
    Journals and periodicals: 89-20-0001
    Description:

    Historical works allow readers to peer into the past, not only to satisfy our curiosity about “the way things were,” but also to see how far we’ve come, and to learn from the past. For Statistics Canada, such works are also opportunities to commemorate the agency’s contributions to Canada and its people, and serve as a reminder that an institution such as this continues to evolve each and every day.

    On the occasion of Statistics Canada’s 100th anniversary in 2018, Standing on the shoulders of giants: History of Statistics Canada: 1970 to 2008, builds on the work of two significant publications on the history of the agency, picking up the story in 1970 and carrying it through the next 36 years, until 2008. To that end, when enough time has passed to allow for sufficient objectivity, it will again be time to document the agency’s next chapter as it continues to tell Canada’s story in numbers.
