Theoretical and empirical support for adjustment of nonresponse by design

Recently, various indicators have been proposed as indirect measures of nonresponse error in surveys. They employ auxiliary variables to detect nonrepresentative or unbalanced response. A class of...

The satisfaction with life scale examining construct validity

This report describes the validity testing of a multi-item scale of global life satisfaction, namely the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). This scale has been proposed as an alternative to...

Error localisation using general edit operations

In this paper, a generalisation of the Fellegi-Holt paradigm is proposed that can incorporate various complex edit operations in a natural way. In addition, an algorithm is outlined that may be used...

Shifting paradigms in official statistics: from design-based to model-based to algorithmic inference

Inference in official statistics is traditionally motivated from a design-based perspective, with the model-based approach being gradually adopted in specific circumstances. We take this shifting...

Using response probabilities for assessing representativity

Nonresponse in surveys may effect representativity, and therefore lead to biased estimates. A first step in exploring a possible lack of representativity is to estimate response probabilities. This...

Measurement error calibration in mixed-mode sample surveys

Mixed-mode surveys are known to be susceptible to mode-dependent selection and measurement effects, collectively referred to as mode effects. The use of different data collection modes within the...
