Abstract:

We are all aware that only a fraction of all error sources are taken into account when margins of survey error are presented. Should we approach this problem by attempting to estimate mean squared error components, by improving survey processes so that we gradually approach more ideal bias-free processes or both? How should we handle the survey design problem when we have to deal with a multitude of nonsampling error sources, some of which defy expression? How should issues regarding survey quality that go beyond textbook sampling formulas be communicated to and discussed with users and clients?
