Research Reports and Studies

Research Report Series - Computing (RRC)

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 Research Report Series primarily includes papers which report results from the conduct of systematic, critical, intensive investigation directed toward the development of new or more comprehensive scientific knowledge of the subject studied. The series is subdivided into categories, including: Computing (RRC), Statistics (RRS), and Survey Methodology (RSM).

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.
