    Description:

    The United States’ National Crime Survey is a large-scale, household survey used to provide estimates of victimizations. The National Crime Survey uses a rotating panel design under which sampled housing units are maintained in the sample for three-and-one-half years with residents of the housing units being interviewed every six months. Nonresponse is a serious problem in longitudinal data from the National Crime Survey since as few as 25% of all individuals interviewed for the survey are respondents over an entire three-and-one-half-year period. In addition, the nonresponse typically does not occur at random with respect to victimization status. This paper presents models for gross flows among two types of victimization reporting classifications: number of victimizations and seriousness of victimization. The models allow for random or nonrandom nonresponse mechanisms, and allow the probabilities underlying the gross flows to be either unconstrained or symmetric. The models are fit, using maximum likelihood estimation, to the data from the National Crime Survey.

    Description:

    Panel responses to the U.S. Consumer Expenditure Interview Survey are compared, to assess the magnitude of telescoping in the unbounded first wave. Analysis of selected expense categories confirms other studies’ findings that telescoping can be considerable in unbounded interviews and tends to vary by type of expense. In addition, estimates from the first wave are found to be greater than estimates derived from subsequent waves, even after telescoping effects are deducted, and much of these effects can be attributed to the shorter recall period in the first wave of this survey.

  • Articles and reports: 12-001-X199000114551
    Description:

    The problem of collapsing the imputation classes defined by a large number of cross-classifications of auxiliary variables is considered. A solution based on cluster analysis to reduce the number of levels of auxiliary variables to a reasonably small number of imputation classes is proposed. The motivation and solution of this general problem are illustrated by the imputation of age in the Hospital Morbidity System where auxiliary variables are sex and diagnosis.

  • Articles and reports: 12-001-X199000114552
    Description:

    The effects of utilizing a self-administered questionnaire or a personal interview procedure on the responses of an adolescent sample on their alcohol consumption and related behaviors are examined. The results are generally supportive of previous studies on the relationship between the method of data collection and the distribution of responses with sensitive or non-normative content. Although of significance in a statistical sense, many of the differences are not of sufficient magnitude to be considered significant in a substantive sense.
