Summary:

"The environment for obtaining information and providing statistical data for policy makers and the public has changed significantly in the past decade, raising questions about the fundamental survey paradigm that underlies federal statistics. New data sources provide opportunities to develop a new paradigm that can improve timeliness, geographic or subpopulation detail, and statistical efficiency. It also has the potential to reduce the costs of producing federal statistics"--Provided by publisher.

Contents:

Statistical methods for combining multiple data sources

Implications of using multiple data sources for information technology infrastructure and data processing

Legal and computer science approaches to privacy

Preserving privacy using technology from computer science, statistical methods, and administrative procedures

Quality frameworks for statistics using multiple data sources

A new entity to provide vital information through enhanced federal statistics.

Notes:

"This is the second Consensus Study Report of the Panel on Improving Federal Statistics for Policy and Social Science Research Using Multiple Data Sources and State-of-the-Art Estimation Methods. Our first report, Innovations in Federal Statistics: Combining Data Sources While Protecting Privacy, was released in January 2017. In that report, the panel noted that there has been increasing attention in recent years to using data already collected by government entities for statistical purposes, such as evaluation of government programs. These data include such records as employment and earnings information on state unemployment insurance, income reported on federal tax forms, Social Security earnings and benefits, medical conditions and payments made for services from Medicare and Medicaid records, and food assistance program benefits"--Page ix.
