The term population movement 11★ is used to refer to the geographical movement of a population.--Nicolas Brouard 09:09, 2 July 2013 (CEST)

pretest

  • 202-7 It is 'pretest' (done). Also some survey folks distinguish pretests from pilot tests. I forget which is which but one is for the questionnaire testing and one tests all the survey procedures (e.g. supervision, checking, even data entry....). I could ask DHS if you wish to make the distinction. --Stan BECKER 16:03, 29 September 2014 (CEST)
pre-test was first used by Eugen Grebenik in the first 'English' edition.--Nicolas Brouard 16:22, 29 September 2014 (CEST)


  • present tense 'include' seems better. (done).--Stan BECKER 16:09, 29 September 2014 (CEST)

203-8 retrospective survey

  • 203-8 Maybe we need to add here computer assisted interviewing (CASI) and phone interviews, etc?--Stan BECKER 16:11, 29 September 2014 (CEST)

204-4

  • This seems unduly 'Northern' country oriented. Most countries have a National Statistical Office which is responsible I believe. Doubtful that we need to focus on UK and USA. --Stan BECKER 16:16, 29 September 2014 (CEST)
There was a closing bracket which hided some other National Statistical Offices: ; in England and Wales it is the General Register Office, in Scotland the General Registry Office; both are headed by a Registrar General. . But still 'Northern country oriented, I agree.--Nicolas Brouard 16:21, 29 September 2014 (CEST)
