  1. Outlierswith „natural limits“ SHARE Data Cleaning Workshop Berlin, June 2009 Sabrina Zuber

  2. Outliers & cross checks • For all waves we want to do some more checks • For wave 1 and wave 2 we have already some clues where are problems in the data • For SHARELIFE we will identify problems while checking the remarks and writing arcticles for the FRB • It is important that we are aware of inconsistencies, because it could be a hint for: translation errors, wrong routing, questionnaire design

  3. What to do with implausible values? • Some inconsistencies we can correct: mainly based on remarks • The most we can detect but cannot be sure what is wrong • For some checks (natural Outliers) we can be sure that is wrong but do not know what is right • So cannot correct anything • Implausible Flag? • Implausible code (see Missing Codes)?

  4. Wave 2 PF003 & PF004 (1st and 2nd measurement peak flow) • Possible range: 60-880 • < 60=30 • > 880=890 • 993=respondent tried but couldn‘t do it • 999=respondent don‘t want to do it • we have also different values (e.g. 900, 933, 975, 980)

  5. Wave 2 CS008 (time in seconds used for five stands) • 0-values - impossible • 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, 2.2? – implausible? • 2,5% under 5 • lower limit?

  6. Wave 1 & Wave 2 SP005_ & SP006_ (loop) (how often received help from this person; hours) SP005_ • Almost daily • Almost every week • Almost every month • Less often

  7. Wave 1 & Wave 2 SP006_ (hours received help) About how many hours did you…receive such help altogether [on a typical day/in a typical week/in a typical month/in the last twelve month] from this person? IWER: ROUND UP TO FULL HOURS ______ (0…3000)

  8. Wave 1 & Wave 2 SP011_ & SP012_ (loop) (how often give help; hours given help) SP016_ & SP017_ (loop) (how often look after grandchildren; hours) wave 1: no limit (in wave 2 9000 hours) => too high values

  9.
