Research Reports and Studies

Statistical Research Report Series (RR)

To communicate and document certain results from work done primarily by staff of the Statistical Research Division, we offer a number of research reports on topics in statistics, computing, and survey methodology.

This series, the Statistical Research Report Series (RR) covers research in statistical methodology and estimation. These papers were released before August 1, 2001.

Note that the title of each paper serves as a link to the file. A link to the paper's abstract is also provided in most cases.

Please read our disclaimer.

Papers from the Research Report series can also be viewed by author and by year

To request a hardcopy of any of the papers listed below, write to Chad.Eric.Russell@census.gov. Please include your name, address, and the title of the paper in your request.
