The theme of the 2016 International Total Survey Error Workshop is “Will Total Survey Error Save Survey Science?”. Consistent with this theme, presentations are encouraged on the following topics: inferences from nonprobability samples, questionnaire designs to minimize Total Survey Error (TSE), collection designs to mitigate errors and methods for reducing the impacts of error on estimation and analysis.
Some of the additional topics that previous workshop presentation have covered and which continue to be of interest in 2016 include the following:
- Simultaneous evaluations of the contributions to total survey error from two or more error sources; example,from nonresponse and response error.
- Interactions between error sources; example, the interplay between item nonresponse error and editing error or interviewer and respondent error.
- Methods for simulating the effects of multiple error sources on the Total Survey Error (TSE).
- The conceptualization and historical development of TSE.
- Reviews of the literature and meta-analyses of TSE.
- The impact of the TSE concept on survey methodology.
- Survey models and other representations of TSE.
- New methods for estimating the components of the mean squared error.
- Methodologies for comparing the TSE for two or more modes of data collection.
- Reports on efforts to evaluate TSE in complex surveys.
- Uses of quality profiles for understanding and minimizing TSE.
- Uses of prior estimates of non-sampling error in the design of new surveys or for allocating resources for survey error reduction.
Exemplary studies of non-sampling error components, either planned or in
progress.
Clients’ and other users’ perceptions of the TSE concept.
