... as the principal users of various residual methods of estimating net migration. All these demographers have either implicitly or explicitly recognized that errors in census enumeration and in the registration of births and deaths have been reflected in errors of estimated net migration. The underlying...

.... Interpretations about the purpose and meaning of the census, about commitment to the task, and about connection to government, singly and together with literacy skills (e.g., reading and general literacy competence), were associated with errors that are not detectable by evaluative methodologies used regularly...

... under a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. 42 worthy of consideration by those who con- duct censuses and sample surveys. Our main finding is that errors of classification are capable of affecting research results much more than most recent writings suggest. The type of errors under discussion here...

...Jacob S. Siegel Abstract Several estimates of total net underenumeration and of net census errors by sex, race (white, Negro-and-other-races, Negro), and age (five-year groups) in the 1960 and 1970 Censuses, for the total population of the United States, derived by the methods of demographic...

Comparisons between the average CSR and the VS methods are shown, by age, for both the North Carolina and the coterminous United States populations. A cursory examination of these comparisons suggests...

..., volume 16, number 2, May 1979 tions and sources of discrepancy must be considered. Both sets of records are sub- ject to coding errors and to errors in re- porting, especially rounding of age (or year of birth) and exaggeration of age. The degree of census underenumeration is not clearly known...

... to erroneous research conclusions. Because U.S. census microdata samples are among the most widely used sources for social science and policy research, the need for reliable standard error estimation is critical. We evaluate the historical microdata samples of the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS...

... in regard to census coverage errors is examined. The Demeny-Shorter method is found difficult to apply directly, so a method based on the same idea as the Demeny-Shorter method but utilizing age data from three, instead of two, successive censuses is presented and discussed as a possible alternative...

..., and population sizes–gender structures at the subnational level in the United States. Comparisons of projections from 1990 to 2000 using this approach with census counts in 2000 for each of the 50 states and Washington, DC show that 68.0 %, 17.0 %, 11.2 %, and 3.8 % of the absolute percentage errors are <3.0...

... of cities. Estimates were prepared for 47 cities in excess of 50,000 population in which special censuses were conducted during the years 1964–66. Because cities that undertake the expense of a special census are commonly areas that are experiencing rapid growth or large annexations, extimates...

... over time. In this article, we evaluate this assumption by making population projections for states for a number of time periods during the 20th century, comparing these projections with census enumerations to determine forecast errors, and analyzing the stability of the resulting error distributions...
