Transparency and Reproducibility of Federal Statistics for the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics

Completed

Topics

The National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics tasked the Committee on National Statistics to undertake a consensus panel study to examine the degree of transparency and reproducibility of federal statistics. The principal questions are: what should an agency should do to make available, both internally and externally, archives of the input data sets used to generate sets of official statistics; documentation of the treatments done to the raw data prior to the computation of the final estimates (for treatment of failed edits, nonresponse, etc.); and documentation of what goes into the computation of the final published estimates.
