The 2002 U.s. Census of Agriculture Data Processing System

چکیده
In 1997 responsibility for the census of agriculture was transferred from the Bureau of Census (BOC) to the U.S. Department of Agriculture 's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). Due to time constraints, the data processing system for the first NASS conducted census, the 1997 Census of Agriculture, remained essentially identical to that used by the BOC. The 1997 system emphasized efficient processing and powerful analysis capabilities, but lacked some desirable features including: seamless connectivity between processing components, graphical data analysis tools and a state of the art edit and imputation system. With these features in mind a new system is under development to be used for the 2002 Census of Agriculture and future NASS sample surveys. This paper outlines plans for two primary components of this new data processing system: the data edit and imputation system and the data analysis system.
