Back to STES Timeliness Framework

The papers below provide detailed information on methods relevant to this topic which have been implemented within statistical organisations. Issues covered include:
• Sophisticated methods (e.g. regression or ARIMA modelling) to impute for non respondents which enable accurate estimates to be produced at lower response rates
