Big data and methodological challenges

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...

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.

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...

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

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...

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 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...

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....

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...

Quarterly estimates of greenhouse gas emission in accordance with the IPCC guidelines.

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

Estimating discontinuities with a parallel run and a time series modelling approach

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...

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...

Measuring online platforms: definitions, actors and statistical challenges

Statistical methods for reconciling data that are published at different frequencies (e.g. monthly and quarterly).

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...

Filtering in the Fourier domain: a new set of filters for seasonal adjustment of time series and its evaluation

The Netherlands in numbers (2021 edition) answers 36 questions about our country by means of images and text.
