  1. Evaluation of score functions for selective editing of Annual Structural Business Statistics Jeffrey Hoogland Statistics Netherlands WP. 42

  2. Selective editing • Select records for manual editing that are likely to contain influential errors

  3. Score functions • Distance between observed values and reference values of variables • Influence of record on publication totals • Block score functions • Monitor block of variables in questionnaire • Assess risk and influence of values of variables • Ratio score functions • Monitor ratios of key variables in questionnaire • Assess risk of ratios

  4. Aims of evaluation study • Evaluate error detection of current and earlier score functions for ASBS of Statistics Netherlands • Compare results with other evaluation studies • Learn how to optimize parameters of score functions

  5. Conclusions • Are there structural differences in the size of undetected errors across score functions? • No: - between block score functions • - between ratio score functions • Yes: - between block and ratio score functions • dependent on the variable • Keep score functions simple • Quality of reference values plays a crucial role
