Back to STES Timeliness Framework
This page contains links to detailed documentation on improving timeliness or reducing costs in the production of short-term economic statistics through efficient sample designs. The papers below provide detailed information on methods relevant to this topic which have been implemented within statistical organisations. Issues covered include:
• Sample designs maximising the use of auxiliary variables to minimise sample size
• The use of cutoff sampling where small businesses are excluded (and possibly imputed using models)
• Efficient sample designs for two phase estimation
Primary papers
The papers below focus primarily on the issue of efficient sample designs. They may also contain information on other statistical processes defined in the STES Timeliness Framework.
