Need Current Long Form Data?
One of the phenomena that we witnessed in the telephone industry was that after people started using our tools, they began asking questions that they never dreamed of before. In light of that, we'd like to suggest a method for getting current data out of 1990 long form data. (Long form data from the 2000 census will not be released until 2002).
It seems to us that a competent statistician should be able to do the following:
- Choose (for example) 3 1-dimensional tabulations, where there are 20 possibilities for each tabulation (total of 60 lines).
- Get each tabulation from both 1990 and current sources.
- For each of the 60 data items, calculate the percentage difference between 1990 and current.
- Produce a formula which accounts for all combinations of the 3 data items, thus producing 8000 (20*20*20) factors from the 60 percentage differences.
- Supply us with the 8000 factors, in the form of a simulation file.
We can then take that simulation file, apply it to 1990 data, and adjust it to look like current data. We suspect that this method will be valid for certain applications, and not for others. Your statisticians would likely need to set up different sets of factors for different applications. We are not statisticians, but we do want people's minds to be open to some of the things that our tools can do.
