- 1,771. A cluster analysis of activities of daily living from the Canadian Health and Disability Survey ArchivedArticles and reports: 12-001-X198600214447Description:
The Canadian Health and Disability Survey, administered as a supplement to the Canadian Labour Force Survey in October 1983, collected data on potentially disabled persons by means of a screening questionnaire and a follow-up questionnaire for those screened-in. The data from the screening questionnaire, consisting of a set of activities of daily living, were used to group respondents according to identifiable characteristics. A description of the groups of respondents is provided along with an evaluation of the methods used in their determination. An incompletely ordered severity scale is proposed.
Release date: 1986-12-15 - 1,772. Additive versus multiplicative seasonal adjustment when there are fast changes in the trend-cycle ArchivedArticles and reports: 12-001-X198600214448Description:
The seasonal adjustment of a time series is not a straightforward procedure particularly when the level of a series nearly doubles in just one year. The 1981-82 recession had a very sudden great impact not only on the structure of the series but on the estimation of the trend- cycle and seasonal components at the end of the series. Serious seasonal adjustment problems can occur. For instance: the selection of the wrong decomposition model may produce underadjustment in the seasonally high months and overadjustment in the seasonally low months. The wrong decomposition model may also signal a false turning point. This article analyses these two aspects of the interplay between a severe recession and seasonal adjustment.
Release date: 1986-12-15 - Articles and reports: 12-001-X198600214449Description:
Nearly all surveys and censuses are subject to two types of nonresponse: unit (total) and item (partial). Several methods of compensating for nonresponse have been developed in an attempt to reduce the bias associated with nonresponse. This paper summarizes the nonresponse adjustment procedures used at the U.S. Census Bureau, focusing on unit nonresponse. Some discussion of current and future research in this area is also included.
Release date: 1986-12-15 - Articles and reports: 12-001-X198600214450Description:
From an annual sample of U.S. corporate tax returns, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service provides estimates of population and subpopulation totals for several hundred financial items. The basic sample design is highly stratified and fairly complex. Starting with the 1981 and 1982 samples, the design was altered to include a double sampling procedure. This was motivated by the need for better allocation of resources, in an environment of shrinking budgets. Items not observed in the subsample are predicted, using a modified hot deck imputation procedure. The present paper describes the design, estimation, and evaluation of the effects of the new procedure.
Release date: 1986-12-15 - Articles and reports: 12-001-X198600214451Description:
The Canadian Census of Construction (COC) uses a complex plan for sampling small businesses (those having a gross income of less than $750,000). Stratified samples are drawn from overlapping frames. Two subsamples are selected independently from one of the samples, and more detailed information is collected on the businesses in the subsamples. There are two possible methods of estimating totals for the variables collected in the subsamples. The first approach is to determine weights based on sampling rates. A number of different weights must be used. The second approach is to impute values to the businesses included in the sample but not in the subsamples. This approach creates a complete “rectangular” sample file, and a single weight may then be used to produce estimates for the population. This “large-scale imputation” technique is presently applied for the Census of Construction. The purpose of the study is to compare the figures obtained using various estimation techniques with the estimates produced by means of large-scale imputation.
Release date: 1986-12-15 - Articles and reports: 12-001-X198600214462Description:
In the presence of unit nonresponse, two types of variables can sometimes be observed for units in the “intended” sample s, namely, (a) variables used to estimate the response mechanism (the response probabilities), (b) variables (here called co-variates) that explain the variable of interest, in the usual regression theory sense. This paper, based on Särndal and Swensson (1985 a, b), discusses nonresponse adjusted estimators with and without explicit involvement of co-variates. We conclude that the presence of strong co-variates in an estimator induces several favourable properties. Among other things, estimators making use of co-variates are considerably more resistant to nonresponse bias. We discuss the calculation of standard error and valid confidence intervals for estimators involving co-variates. The structure of the standard error is examined and discussed.
Release date: 1986-12-15 - 1,777. Ratio estimation with subsampling the nonrespondents ArchivedArticles and reports: 12-001-X198600214463Description:
The procedure of subsampling the nonrespondents suggested by Hansen and Hurwitz (1946) is considered. Post-stratification prior to the subsampling is examined. For the mean of a characteristic of interest, ratio estimators suitable for different practical situations are proposed and their merits are examined. Suitable ratio estimators are also suggested for the situations in which the Hard-Core are present.
Release date: 1986-12-15 - 1,778. The treatment of missing survey data ArchivedArticles and reports: 12-001-X198600114404Description:
Missing survey data occur because of total nonresponse and item nonresponse. The standard way to attempt to compensate for total nonresponse is by some form of weighting adjustment, whereas item nonresponses are handled by some form of imputation. This paper reviews methods of weighting adjustment and imputation and discusses their properties.
Release date: 1986-06-16 - 1,779. On the definitions of response rates ArchivedArticles and reports: 12-001-X198600114437Description:
In this paper, different types of response/nonresponse and associated measures such as rates are provided and discussed together with their implications on both estimation and administrative procedures. The missing data problems lead to inconsistent terminology related to nonresponse such as completion rates, eligibility rates, contact rates, and refusal rates, many of which can be defined in different ways. In addition, there are item nonresponse rates as well as characteristic response rates. Depending on the uses, the rates may be weighted or unweighted.
Release date: 1986-06-16 - 1,780. Some optimality results in the presence of nonresponse ArchivedArticles and reports: 12-001-X198600114438Description:
Using the optimal estimating functions for survey sampling estimation (Godambe and Thompson 1986), we obtain some optimality results for nonresponse situations in survey sampling.

- Articles and reports: 12-001-X202300200018Description: Sample surveys, as a tool for policy development and evaluation and for scientific, social and economic research, have been employed for over a century. In that time, they have primarily served as tools for collecting data for enumerative purposes. Estimation of these characteristics has been typically based on weighting and repeated sampling, or design-based, inference. However, sample data have also been used for modelling the unobservable processes that gave rise to the finite population data. This type of use has been termed analytic, and often involves integrating the sample data with data from secondary sources. Alternative approaches to inference in these situations, drawing inspiration from mainstream statistical modelling, have been strongly promoted. The principal focus of these alternatives has been on allowing for informative sampling. Modern survey sampling, though, is more focussed on situations where the sample data are in fact part of a more complex set of data sources all carrying relevant information about the process of interest. When an efficient modelling method such as maximum likelihood is preferred, the issue becomes one of how it should be modified to account for both complex sampling designs and multiple data sources. Here application of the Missing Information Principle provides a clear way forward. In this paper I review how this principle has been applied to resolve so-called “messy” data analysis issues in sampling. I also discuss a scenario that is a consequence of the rapid growth in auxiliary data sources for survey data analysis. This is where sampled records from one accessible source or register are linked to records from another less accessible source, with values of the response variable of interest drawn from this second source, and where a key output is small area estimates for the response variable for domains defined on the first source.Release date: 2024-01-03
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202301200002Description: The validity of survival estimates from cancer registry data depends, in part, on the identification of the deaths of deceased cancer patients. People whose deaths are missed seemingly live on forever and are informally referred to as “immortals”, and their presence in registry data can result in inflated survival estimates. This study assesses the issue of immortals in the Canadian Cancer Registry (CCR) using a recently proposed method that compares the survival of long-term survivors of cancers for which “statistical” cure has been reported with that of similar people from the general population.Release date: 2023-12-20

- Articles and reports: 12-001-X202300100001Description: Recent work in survey domain estimation allows for estimation of population domain means under a priori assumptions expressed in terms of linear inequality constraints. For example, it might be known that the population means are non-decreasing along ordered domains. Imposing the constraints has been shown to provide estimators with smaller variance and tighter confidence intervals. In this paper we consider a formal test of the null hypothesis that all the constraints are binding, versus the alternative that at least one constraint is non-binding. The test of constant versus increasing domain means is a special case. The power of the test is substantially better than the test with the same null hypothesis and an unconstrained alternative. The new test is used with data from the National Survey of College Graduates, to show that salaries are positively related to the subject’s father’s educational level, across fields of study and over several years of cohorts.Release date: 2023-06-30
- Articles and reports: 12-001-X202300100002Description: We consider regression analysis in the context of data integration. To combine partial information from external sources, we employ the idea of model calibration which introduces a “working” reduced model based on the observed covariates. The working reduced model is not necessarily correctly specified but can be a useful device to incorporate the partial information from the external data. The actual implementation is based on a novel application of the information projection and model calibration weighting. The proposed method is particularly attractive for combining information from several sources with different missing patterns. The proposed method is applied to a real data example combining survey data from Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and big data from National Health Insurance Sharing Service in Korea.Release date: 2023-06-30
- Articles and reports: 12-001-X202300100003Description: To improve the precision of inferences and reduce costs there is considerable interest in combining data from several sources such as sample surveys and administrative data. Appropriate methodology is required to ensure satisfactory inferences since the target populations and methods for acquiring data may be quite different. To provide improved inferences we use methodology that has a more general structure than the ones in current practice. We start with the case where the analyst has only summary statistics from each of the sources. In our primary method, uncertain pooling, it is assumed that the analyst can regard one source, survey r, as the single best choice for inference. This method starts with the data from survey r and adds data from those other sources that are shown to form clusters that include survey r. We also consider Dirichlet process mixtures, one of the most popular nonparametric Bayesian methods. We use analytical expressions and the results from numerical studies to show properties of the methodology.Release date: 2023-06-30
- Articles and reports: 12-001-X202300100004Description: The Dutch Health Survey (DHS), conducted by Statistics Netherlands, is designed to produce reliable direct estimates at an annual frequency. Data collection is based on a combination of web interviewing and face-to-face interviewing. Due to lockdown measures during the Covid-19 pandemic there was no or less face-to-face interviewing possible, which resulted in a sudden change in measurement and selection effects in the survey outcomes. Furthermore, the production of annual data about the effect of Covid-19 on health-related themes with a delay of about one year compromises the relevance of the survey. The sample size of the DHS does not allow the production of figures for shorter reference periods. Both issues are solved by developing a bivariate structural time series model (STM) to estimate quarterly figures for eight key health indicators. This model combines two series of direct estimates, a series based on complete response and a series based on web response only and provides model-based predictions for the indicators that are corrected for the loss of face-to-face interviews during the lockdown periods. The model is also used as a form of small area estimation and borrows sample information observed in previous reference periods. In this way timely and relevant statistics describing the effects of the corona crisis on the development of Dutch health are published. In this paper the method based on the bivariate STM is compared with two alternative methods. The first one uses a univariate STM where no correction for the lack of face-to-face observation is applied to the estimates. The second one uses a univariate STM that also contains an intervention variable that models the effect of the loss of face-to-face response during the lockdown.Release date: 2023-06-30
- Articles and reports: 12-001-X202300100005Description: Weight smoothing is a useful technique in improving the efficiency of design-based estimators at the risk of bias due to model misspecification. As an extension of the work of Kim and Skinner (2013), we propose using weight smoothing to construct the conditional likelihood for efficient analytic inference under informative sampling. The Beta prime distribution can be used to build a parameter model for weights in the sample. A score test is developed to test for model misspecification in the weight model. A pretest estimator using the score test can be developed naturally. The pretest estimator is nearly unbiased and can be more efficient than the design-based estimator when the weight model is correctly specified, or the original weights are highly variable. A limited simulation study is presented to investigate the performance of the proposed methods.Release date: 2023-06-30

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.
