This paper by Ralph Foorthuis and Sjaak Brinkkemper describes the various architectures at the project level, when conforming to Enterprise Architecture. Amongst the architectures described are...

Numerical and categorical data used for statistical analyses is often plagued with missing values and inconsistencies. In many cases, a number of missing values may be derived, based on the...

In recent years, the importance of the households sector in measuring economic welfare has increasingly been recognised, and the development of additional indicators to measure inequalities is...

This study contains a time series of economic indicators for the Dutch North Sea, the Dutch coastal strip and Dutch Seaports for the years 2015 to 2021.

In this paper we propose a novel algorithm WordGraph2Vec (WG2Vec) to analyse text data. WG2Vec combines two aspects of natural language processing: language models and word embeddings.

This paper describes how multiple data sources that relate to mobility in the city of Rotterdam were combined to create a model for scenario analysis. Sources originate from RET, Gemeente Rotterdam...

This paper gives alternative derivations for the standard variance formulas in two-stage sampling. The derivations are based on a direct use of the statistical properties of the sampling errors in...

Big data and methodological challenges

Pulp of wood or of other fibrous cellulosic material; recovered (waste and scrap) paper or paperboard; paper and paperboard and articles thereof.

Assessing the impact of mode effects on survey estimates has become a crucial question due to the increasing appeal of mixed-mode designs. Despite the advantages of a mixed-mode design such as lower...

Soft edit rules, i.e. constraints which identify (combinations of) values that are suspicious but not necessarily incorrect, are an important element of many traditional, manual editing processes.

In this paper the question is addressed how alternative data sources, such as administrative and social media data, can be used in the production of official statistics. Since most surveys at...

Paper and erratum. The results in this report are part of a study on people who start and stop claiming unemployment benefit. This report contains figures on people who stopped receiving...

This survey discusses the basics of productivity measurement and shows that one can dispense with most if not all of the usual, neoclassical assumptions, on which models for productivity measurement...

Various claims have been made regarding the benefits that EnterpriseArchitecture (EA) delivers for both individual systems development projects and the organization as a whole. This paper presents...

This publication contains information on internationalisation in the Netherlands. Exports and imports of goods and services, export earnings, value chains, multinationals and investment are covered...

There are various ways to approach respondents for a questionnaire-based survey: respondents can complete a questionnaire with the help from an interviewer, but they can also do it themselves....

A paper and additional customised tables on the removals of households living in Amsterdam or the Amsterdam metropolitan region, by income. The tables cover the period 2001-2008. Commissioned by:...

DMK participates in a project, with the aim of implementing a new, efficient method for the benchmarking of National Accounts. Benchmarking is the process to achieve mathematical consistency between...

This study compares two different techniques in a time series small area application: state space models estimated with the Kalman filter with a frequentist approach to hyperparameter estimation, and...

Discussiepaper over een methode om een groot aantal hulpreeksen afkomstig uit big data bronnen te gebruiken bij het schatten van de maandelijkse werkloze beroepsbevolking.

Changes in the survey process usually have a systematic effect on the results.

Linear structural equation models (SEMs) are widely used to assess the validity and reliability of survey variables. When population means or totals are of interest, it is also important to assess...

While constructing long and yet consistent time series or composing indicators from varying sources, several stumble blocks will have to be overcome. In the ideal case we have • Stable research...
