On the use of proxy variables in combining register and survey data
On the use of proxy variables in combining register and survey data
This chapter presents an overview of the uses of proxy variables when combining data from multiple sources. It explains what we mean by register and survey data, how the multisource data perspective differs from the survey-data centric view, and the concept of proxy variables in the context of multisource data. The chapter considers the many and various instances of proxy variable, based on a systematic examination of the processing steps of data integration and associated error sources. It outlines estimation methods in the presence of multiple proxy variables. Within the context of combining register and survey data, we consider multisource estimation methods that make use of two or more proxy variables. Combining survey and register-based enumerations for population size estimation has attracted growing interest in the recent years, under the assumption that none of the sources can yield the true target population enumeration directly.

Abstract
This chapter presents an overview of the uses of proxy variables when combining data from multiple sources. It explains what we mean by register and survey data, how the multisource data perspective differs from the survey-data centric view, and the concept of proxy variables in the context of multisource data. The chapter considers the many and various instances of proxy variable, based on a systematic examination of the processing steps of data integration and associated error sources. It outlines estimation methods in the presence of multiple proxy variables. Within the context of combining register and survey data, we consider multisource estimation methods that make use of two or more proxy variables. Combining survey and register-based enumerations for population size estimation has attracted growing interest in the recent years, under the assumption that none of the sources can yield the true target population enumeration directly.
