Title: Multiple Systems Estimation Methods in the Context of a Combination of Census-based and Sample-based Lists

Abstract:

This paper describes research into potential multiple systems estimation techniques in which two sources of data (for example, the decennial census and an administrative records list) are considered primary population lists, and a third data source (for example, a post-enumeration survey) is treated as an auxiliary random sample of blocks from a third population list. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this approach, and the issues surrounding the use of lists that reference different time frames. We conclude with a discussion of how this research, combined with other multiple systems research presented in this session, might be used in the future in the context of the U.S. decennial census.
