Methodological recommendations on the measurement of the quality of household survey figures

This document begins with a diagnosis of the practices used by the region’s national statistical offices to measure the quality of estimates, particularly those yielded by household sample surveys. A conceptual framework related to the scope of the study is provided below, with a particular focus on replicated weight techniques for estimating sampling errors. Based on the review of the literature carried out, the various quality criteria that can be used to determine the statistical quality of estimates are presented in a logical order, and a work flow for applying the examined quality criteria is proposed to serve as the standard reference for assessing the statistical quality of national statistical office estimates.
