Abstract:
|
The NSCG is a longitudinal survey that derived its current sample from the 2000 census long form. With the long form being replaced by the American Community Survey (ACS), we are evaluating the ACS as a sampling frame for the NSCG. As part of the evaluation, we examined design options for the 2010 NSCG decade and chose a rotating panel design. To implement this rotating panel design, the 2010 NSCG will use a dual frame design with sample from both an ACS frame and the 2000-decade NSCG sample. In subsequent survey cycles, the 2000-decade cases will rotate out and will be replaced by sample from more recent ACS years. Since the sample from the ACS and 2000-decade frames cover overlapping populations, determining the correct dual frame methodology to bring together sample from the two frames will be paramount in deriving 2010 NSCG estimates. This poster describes our ongoing research.
