Abstract:
|
This paper reviews how basic descriptive estimates for persons with disabilities are constructed from the Current Population Survey (CPS), and also explores how various analytic analyses can be conducted. Particular attention is given to the household-based collection of the data, and how imputation and editing is performed for each household member. Variance estimation is also discussed. Analytic analyses that are covered include transitional flows across adjoining months, matching individuals from one year ago, and measurement error modeling of disability status and its potential impact on statistical analyses. Suggestions for those wishing to conduct their own analyses of these data will also be presented.
