摘要:
This paper describes an attempt to measure the relative errors in totals and their influence on size distributions due to the questionnaire editing in a census. The experiment described was performed in connection with the 1953 Industrial Census in Norway. The results indicate that the errors are relatively small and their influence on distributions insignificant. The gains of a more thorough editing would probably be small and efforts might perhaps be better spent by improving the census procedure by other means.
