Public Use Microdata Files (PUMFs) • Each PUMF is based on a corresponding master data file (all observations) • Modifications are made to the file (eg: collapsing of variables; suppressing variables) to minimize the possibility of disclosing or identifying any of the cases in the file (i.e. participants in a survey) • More than 1,300 PUMFs in the DLI collection from over 90 surveys • General Social Survey (GSS) • Aboriginal Peoples Survey (APS) • Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) • I read it in “The Daily”… by Michael Sivyer (DLI Update, Fall 2000, Volume 4, Number 2) Statistics Canada • Statistique Canada
