Scanner-Based Sample." Proceedings of the Section on Survey Research

We present estimates of components of variance of price change for an
experimental scanner-based Consumer Price Index for cereal for several
publication areas. Components of variance for 1-, 6-, and 12-month lags
are computed using a weighted restricted maximum likelihood estimation
method. Estimates are contrasted among publication areas using two
different random effects models, and findings are discussed with respect
to approaches to sample design.
