Response and Procedural Error Variance in Surveys: An Application of Poisson and Neyman Type A Regression
Response and Procedural Error Variance in Surveys: An Application of Poisson and Neyman Type A Regression
Working Paper Number: SIPP-WP-121
In this paper we assess the relative importance of response and procedural error variance in the SUrvey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). We concentrate on the SIPP not because it is any more prone to error than other surveys, but rather because it has a good reinterview program and the staff has had the curiosity to encourage external scrutiny of these data.
