Abstract:

In the 2001 Canadian Census of Population, the Canadian Census Edit and Imputation System (CANCEIS) performed minimum change hot-deck imputation for nearly half of the census variables. An earlier version of this software was also used in the 2001 Brazilian and Swiss Censuses. In the 2006 Canadian Census, CANCEIS will perform hot-deck imputation as well as deterministic imputation on all census variables. New tools are being added to make CANCEIS easier to use such as the Decision Logic Table Editor and a Graphical User Interface. Improvements to the imputation methodology include additional distance measures to allow numeric edit and imputation for a wider range of variables.
