DLI PRESENTATION University of Victoria December 4, 2002 Raymond Roy Special Surveys Division Statistics Canada
PUMF Creation • Not all surveys require a PUMF • Sometimes costly to produce • Survey teams disbanded • Outputs are scrutinized by the Microdata Release Committee
PUMF Alternatives • Include PUMF in cost-recovery contracts • Reduced PUMF content • No PUMF
Use of SPSS • SPSS not widely used at Statistics Canada • Statistics Canada has signed a corporate license with SAS • SPSS cards may have to be generated by someone else
Remote Job Submissions • Remote job submissions handled only as part of initial survey contracts • $80 per request • No plans in place to expand service in Special Surveys Division
Production of Legacy Survey Files • Committed to producing survey files back to October 1998 • Pre-October 1998 files may be generated (on a fee for service basis)
Dissemination Budget • DLI provides some financial support each year • Additional funds are required to continue PUMF creation, documentation and support of legacy files
DLI Requirements/Feedback • Need to know your priorities • Continued communication with DLI • Require feedback on files produced
