Abstract:

The subcommittee on Data Editing in Federal Statistical Agencies was formed in 1988 to document, profile, and discuss the topics of data editing in Federal surveys. In preparing this report, the subcommittee walked in uncharted territory. Unlike many other survey process topics, such as design and estimators, where there is substantial literature, textbooks, and documentation, the formal literature pertaining to data editing is quite limited. It is hoped that this report will further the awareness within agencies of each other's data editing practices, as well as of the state of the art of data editing, and thus lead to improvements in data quality throughout Federal statistical agencies. A key ingredient in this effort is a profile of current data editing practices constructed from an editing questionnaire designed by the subcommittee and covering 117 Federal surveys. The report also describes current and recent research developments that may aid agencies in evaluating their current data editing practices, as well as in planning for future data editing systems.
