Recent Advances in the Use of Paradata in Social Survey Research
One-day research symposium on 9 December 2010 at the Royal Statistical Society, 12 Errol Street, London, EC1Y 8LX, UK.
Overview
We are pleased to announce a one-day research symposium on Recent Advances in the Use of Paradata (Process Data) in Social Survey Research to be held at the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) in London on 9 December 2010. The meeting is jointly organised by the Social Statistics Section of the society and the ESRC funded research project on ‘Hierarchical Analysis of Unit Nonresponse’ as part of the UK ESRC Survey Design and Measurement Initiative.
The event aims to provide a forum for presenting and discussing recent methodological and practical developments in the use of paradata in sample surveys.
Invited speakers include Paul Biemer (RTI), Mick Couper (University of Michigan), Frauke Kreuter (University of Maryland), Jennifer Sinibaldi (NatCen), Julia D'Arrigo (University of Southampton), Francois Laflamme (Statistics Canada) and others.
If you would like to present your work as a poster at this event, please see the Poster presentations webpage.
We are planning to publish papers on this theme in a special issue of the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series A (Statistics in Society). A call for papers will appear later on in the year with a deadline early 2011. Submitted manuscripts will be subject to peer review following the normal procedures of JRSS, Series A.
The event is preceded by a two-day training course on 'Paradata in Survey Research', as part of the CASS short course programme.
