• Abstract:
  The Subcommittee on Survey Coverage studied the survey errors that can seriously bias sample survey data because of undercoverage of certain subpopulations or because of overcoverage of other subpopulations. The purpose of this report is to heighten the awareness of survey planners and data users regarding the existence and effects of coverage error, and to provide survey researchers with information to evaluate the trade-offs between coverage error and survey costs. The report profiles selected methods for controlling and measuring the effects of coverage errors using examples from Federal sampling frames and surveys. The report includes seven case studies based on Federal surveys that illustrate selected aspects of coverage errors.
