Topic (i) Editing nearer the source • Topics of interest • Strategies or methods that try to move editing at the point of data collection • The impact of EDR on editing strategies • Editing in the framework of the general statistical production process • Evaluation of editing and imputation methods
General context • Challenges of public statistical institutions • New technologies (IT tools and statistical methods) could improve editing processes Point in common Use of new technologies in order to improve efficiency and quality
Focus of the papers • Germany: internet-based technology for collecting raw data directly from ERP or other software systems • Italy: different computer assisted techniques for data collection • Spain: Web questionnaires and selective editing • UK (Wagstaff & Rogers):diagnosis for the effective evaluation of the performance of imputation • UK (Al-Hamad et al.): tool for assessing the impact of reducing costs on output quality
Data editing “good practice”: moving editing closer to respondents Going a step further: integrating the respondents in editing
Data editing by respondents Paper questionnaires few opportunities Electronic questionnaires many opportunities (built-in edits) EDR enables more editing to take place at data collection by the respondents
Some crucial questions • How to integrate EDR with existing statistical systems ? • How to ensure uniformity when different modes of data collection are used? • How to increase the take-up of electronic questionnaires? • How to design editing strategies in order to obtain a optimum trade-off between components of quality? • What indicators of the performance of imputations should be constructed and analyzed? • ...?
