    Description:

    We consider the problem of estimating the “cost weights” and “relative importances” of different item strata for the local market basket areas. The estimation of these parameters is needed to construct the U.S. Consumer Price Index Numbers. We use multivariate models to construct composite estimators which combine information from relevant sources. The mean squared errors (MSE) of the proposed and the existing estimators are estimated using the repeated half samples available from the survey. Based on our numerical results, the proposed estimators seem to be superior to the existing estimators.

  • Articles and reports: 12-001-X199200114492
    Description:

    The scenario considered here is that of a sample survey having the following two major objectives: (1) identification for future follow up studies of n^* subjects in each of H subdomains, and (2) estimation as of this time of conduct of the survey of the level of some characteristic in each of these subdomains. An additional constraint imposed here is that the sample design is restricted to single stage cluster sampling. A variation of single stage cluster sampling called telescopic single stage cluster sampling (TSSCS) had been proposed in an earlier paper (Levy et al. 1989) as a cost effective method of identifying n^* individuals in each sub domain and, in this article, we investigate the statistical properties of TSSCS in crossectional estimation of the level of a population characteristic. In particular, TSSCS is compared to ordinary single stage cluster sampling (OSSCS) with respect to the reliability of estimates at fixed cost. Motivation for this investigation comes from problems faced during the statistical design of the Shanghai Survey of Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia (SSADD), an epidemiological study of the prevalence and incidence of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

  • Articles and reports: 12-001-X199200114495
    Description:

    The Address Register is a frame of residential addresses for medium and large urban centres covered by Geography Division’s Area Master File (AMF) at Statistics Canada. For British Columbia, the Address Register was extended to include smaller urban population centres as well as some rural areas. The paper provides an historical overview of the project, its objective as a means of reducing undercoverage in the 1991 Census of Canada, its sources and product, the methodology required for its initial production, the proposed post-censal evaluation and prospects for the future.
