The aim is to examine the various sources of error affecting census statistics beyond just sampling variance.
Developed a model to describe the joint effects of sampling and nonsampling errors on census statistics.
Analyzed the components of error to assess their impact on survey data reliability.
If sampling variance is small compared to mean-square error, significant mistakes in inference may occur.
The model aids in identifying methods to improve the accuracy of survey data.
