Sirken Abstract This paper studies the design effect of counting rules, for linking deaths to housing units where they are enumerated in the survey, on the sampling variance of dual system and single system estimators of death registration completeness. It investigates estimators based...

As the number of coefficients increases, the prob- lem becomes more complicated but it is still manageable since it reduces to a se- ries of counting rules. In actual practice, the number of coefficients is usually un- der five and consequently it is possible...

(If a number ends in a 5 that must be rounded, our rule is to round to the nearest even digit, but a high-speed com- puter often has views of its own about this, since it may produce 2.5 as 2.4999999, depending on just how it carried out the calculation. Consequently, we set...
