Abstract

ABSTRACT Erroneous enumerations in the census include multiple enumerations and other errors. The linear estimator for estimating these errors currently used in several countries leads to underestimation when the sample used for the estimation comprises few of these errors. The “ratio estimator” of the total number of erroneous enumerations overcomes this difficulty. This is the one used by China for the 2020 census. Empirical analysis shows that the ratio estimator provides a smaller sampling error than the linear estimator.

对人口普查中错误计数的估计

人口普查中的错误枚举包括多次枚举和其他错误。目前在一些国家使用的用于估计这些误差的线性估计器在用于估计的样本中包含很少这些误差时导致低估。错误枚举总数的“比率估计器”克服了这一困难。这是中国在2020年人口普查中使用的。实证分析表明，比值估计器比线性估计器提供更小的抽样误差。

期刊介绍： Mathematical Population Studies publishes carefully selected research papers in the mathematical and statistical study of populations. The journal is strongly interdisciplinary and invites contributions by mathematicians, demographers, (bio)statisticians, sociologists, economists, biologists, epidemiologists, actuaries, geographers, and others who are interested in the mathematical formulation of population-related questions. The scope covers both theoretical and empirical work. Manuscripts should be sent to Manuscript central for review. The editor-in-chief has final say on the suitability for publication.
