The accuracy1 of population statistics will depend among other factors on the completeness2 of the count of individuals, groups or events on which they are based. Omissions3 and undercount3 tend to generate underestimation4 while multiple counting5 leads to over-estimation6. Additional sources of error include misreporting7 of a characteristic such as age and classification errors8. Such inaccuracies are sometimes detected by post-enumeration tests9 or quality checks10. Occasionally certain questions are not answered or insufficiently answered and this may lead to considerable inaccuracy, the incidence of which is indicated by the frequency of the class designated as nonresponse11, not stated11 or unknown11.
- 1. Accuracy, n. - accurate, adj.
- 2. Completeness, n. - complete, adj. The terms "complete" and "completeness" are used here to express the absence of omissions. The same terms may also be used to refer to coverage, as in 202-4.
- 3. The omission of some events from vital registration is called underregis-tration, and from a census or survey, underenumeration.
- 5. The expression double counts is often used in this sense.
