Title: Editing and Imputation Strategy for a Fuel Consumption Supplement to the Canadian Vehicle Survey

Abstract:

The Kyoto Protocol, whose objective is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, has generated increased interest in measuring fuel consumption. It is in this context that a fuel supplement was added to the Canadian Vehicle Survey (CVS), which is conducted by Statistics Canada. The CVS measures travel activity in terms of vehicle-kilometers and passenger-kilometers on roads by most of the registered Canadian motor vehicles. The objective of the fuel supplement to CVS is to inform federal agencies such as Transport Canada and Natural Resources Canada, both cosponsors of the survey, as well as the general populace of the quantity of fuel consumed and the fuel efficiency of motor vehicles registered in Canada. This paper focuses on the edit and imputation strategy developed to impute the variables introduced by the fuel supplement. A major element of the strategy involves the creation of a fuel consumption model. I use this regression model to impute several variables of the fuel supplement (such as odometer reading and quantity of fuel purchased) and to calculate the amount of fuel consumed each day of the reporting period (using the distance driven during the day).
