  • 1. Taking stock: the future of longitudinal surveys Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-522-X20050019469
    Description:

    The 1990s was the decade of longitudinal surveys in Canada. The focus was squarely on the benefits that could be derived from the increased analytical power of longitudinal surveys. This presentation explores issues of insights gained, timeliness, data access, survey design, complexity, research capacity, survey governance and knowledge mobilisation. This presentation outlines some of the issues that are likely to be raised in any debate regarding longitudinal surveys.

  • 2. Comparability of ICD-10 and ICD-9 for Mortality Statistics in Canada Archived
    Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 84-548-X
    Description:

    This report describes the design, methodology, and results of the first study undertaken by Statistics Canada to measure the impact on Canadian cause of death trends of a new revision of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (ICD).

    Using 1999 Canadian mortality data, Statistics Canada carried out a comparability, or "bridge-coding", study by dual-coding deaths to both the Ninth and Tenth Revisions of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9 and ICD-10). The preliminary results of this exercise were used to generate comparability ratios; these ratios measure the net effect of the new revision, with ratios above 1.00 indicating a net increase in deaths classified to a cause of death, and ratios below 1.00 indicating a net decrease.

    The comparability ratios derived from dual-coding medical certificates of cause of death presented in this report estimate the size and direction of the disruption to cause of death trends due to the implementation of ICD-10. Researchers and analysts using Canadian mortality data should use these summary measures to calculate comparability-modified death counts and mortality rates to bridge the gap between ICD-9 and ICD-10.

  • 3. Historical revision of the National Economic and Financial Accounts Archived
    Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 13-605-X19970018521
    Description:

    A historical revision of the National Economic and Financial Accounts was published on December 12, 1997. This historical revision had three goals.

  • 4. The Introduction of Chain Volume Indexes in the Income and Expenditure Accounts Archived
    Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 13-604-M1991014
    Description:

    Currently, one measure of real gross domestic product (GDP) at market prices is published by Statistics Canada. It is a fixed weighted index, and the weights are from the base year, 1986. In the first quarter of 1990, alternate formulations of real GDP were reviewed in an article released in this publication. One of the alternatives discussed in the article was the Chain Volume Indexes.

    The purpose of this article was to introduce a new set of indexes into the Income and Expenditure Accounts. The indexes include quarterly re-weighted Chain Volume Indexes and annually re-weighted Chain Volume Indexes of GDP, excluding the value of physical change in inventories.

  • 5. The Relationship Between Statisticians and Statisticians Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X198500214636
    Description:

    There are many people called statisticians who carry out a very diverse set of activities which are labelled statistics. As part of the invited address at the 1985 meeting of the Statistical Society of Canada, the author presents his views and discusses the nature of the relationships between the different types of statisticians.

  • 6. Comparison groups and survey research Archived
    Articles and reports: 12-001-X198000254949
    Description: This paper deals with the desirability of designing surveys in such a way that results can be compared to previous existing data. The writer explains why there are practical difficulties in assessing the significance of data collected in a one-time survey where these data stand alone and are not readily comparable to other existing data, i.e., where control group data or other benchmarks do not exist.

How does the search work?

  • This search looks for results that have your query term in the title, description, subject, geography, product number or other information about the product.

    • For example, when searching the term ‘Diseases’, all results with the word ‘Diseases’ in the title, description or tagged the subject appear.

  • The text within an article or publication are not searched. For full text searching of articles, use the site search.

Sort help

How are the results ordered?

The Sort by feature provides three options:

  • By date – sorts results by product release date starting with the most recent.
  • By relevance is only needed or beneficial when you use the search box and submit a search query. Results are ordered by a combination of where the search term appears in the content, e.g., if it appears in the title, it likely means the product is more relevant to your search; how up to date or new the content in the product is; how popular the product is; and other factors.
  • By title – sorts results alphabetically.
