For additional information about SESTAT design and methodologies, and about the
reliability of SESTAT estimates, click on one of the topics below:
- Design and Methodology provides information about the SESTAT
target population, component surveys, data collection and processing, and weighting strategy.
- Reliability of SESTAT Estimates provides information about survey
errors for the SESTAT database. Discussed here is the development of SESTAT sampling errors and
