Description
The U.S. Census Bureau has recently developed a program by which to encourage basic theoretical development in multiple-system capture-recapture modeling. It is hoped that this research will allow the Census Bureau to create a test of a triple-system estimation procedure using the decennial census, a coverage survey, and a list created from administrative data to estimate the correlation bias in the dual-system estimator of undercoverage of the decennial census. Several statisticians are exploring both theoretical aspects of statistical models for this population estimation problem as well as empirical implementations in the decennial census context. This session will allow them to present the background to the modeling effort and preliminary results.
