摘要:

The kinds of labor force statistics developed should be determined by their uses. The full employment goal of national economic policy in the United States gives rise to the need for labor force statistics which can serve as a barometer of the state of functioning of the economy and which can identify the sectors of the Nation's workers for whom the economy is not providing full employment opportunity. This treatment is primarily of the implications of such objectives for the types of labor force data needed, although it is recognized that labor force data have many other uses.

摘要:

Different uses for labor force data often require different concepts and definitions which are sometimes difficult to reconcile. It is important to develop, as a part of measurement, procedures that will provide data which are suitable for the various uses and also comparable over time. The experience of the Census Bureau in the operation of its monthly sample survey during the last few years has revealed many of the problems attendant upon putting into actual practice the agreed upon concepts.

摘要:

The term “full-employment program” usually means a program designed to maintain the general demand for labor. Unemployment can be reduced by such a program only to a certain point; beyond that point an increase in the general demand for labor will be relatively ineffective and will have undesirable repercussions. In setting a goal for a full-employment program we are essentially expressing a judgment on how far we can safely go in reducing unemployment by increasing general demand. In translating this judgment into figures, the best guide is our historical experience.

摘要:

During the past decade, under the stimulus of changed economic conditions and changed attitudes toward policy formation, real progress has been made in the measurement of consumption in the United States. Concepts have been clarified considerably, techniques for gathering information have been improved, some information has been collected, and a certain amount of lay as well as professional support has been developed for further use of public funds to measure consumption. Work in this field, however, is still in a pioneering stage, particularly with reference to the measurement of changes in the physical volume of consumption.

摘要:

This paper presents a new method for the analysis of variance of multiple classifications with unequal subclass numbers. It is believed that the method is simpler and more expeditious than the standard method of fitting constants. The process of adjusting is accomplished by substituting in the following equation:

摘要:

Information about small areas such as census tracts, wards, cities, counties, etc., should be available to the consumer in a compact readable form. To meet the problem of multitudinous tables in large expensive volumes, the method described below was devised for the analysis and publication of data concerning the neighborhoods of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County. By using punched card procedures, making use of summary cards, machine multiplication and other techniques, a set of cards was prepared containing the social characteristics of each area and including percentile rankings identifying the relative position of each area for a particular characteristic. The statistical tables were reproduced directly from the listing sheets. Instead of repeating identical heading stubs for each of the tables, one set of stubs was printed on overlapping tab cards bound to the right side of the book. This alone makes for a most efficient use of paper and reduces the size and cost of the books. This method of analyzing and presentation can be applied to data for cities, counties, and metropolitan areas, as well as to small areas within cities.

摘要:

This article discusses some properties of the computedYvalues obtained by fitting a linear regression function to independent observations by the method of least squares. For the general case where the form of the fitted function may not be correct it is proved that (a) the sampling variance of the computed values and of the residual differences is the same as for the special case where the form of the fitted function is correct, and (b) the mean square bias of the set of computed values is less than, or equal to, that of any other set of linear estimates. These and other properties lead to the suggestion that in minimizing the mean square error, one or more variables be neglected unless Snedecor'sFis greater than two.

摘要:

The discussion of the missing-value problem is given explicitly for a biological assay which employs a 4×4 latin square in several replications. However, the methods are easily adapted to any latin square and to various other designs as well.
