Research Reports and Studies

Research Reports and Studies Sorted by Series

The links contained on this page link to papers which serve to communicate and document certain results from work done primarily by staff of the Statistical Research Division. We offer the following series:

Beginning August 1, 2001

• The Research Report Series primarily includes papers which report results from the conduct of systematic, critical, intensive investigation directed toward the development of new or more comprehensive scientific knowledge of the subject studied. The series is subdivided into categories, including: Computing (RRC), Statistics (RRS), and Survey Methodology (RSM).
• The Study Series primarily includes papers which report results from the conduct of systematic, critical, intensive investigation directed toward applying known scientific knowledge to a specific problem. The series is subdivided into categories, including: Computing (SSC), Statistics (SSS), and Survey Methodology (SSM).

Prior to August 1, 2001

• The Statistical Research Report Series (RR) covers research in statistical methodology and estimation.
• Working Papers in Survey Methodology (SM) cover questionnaire design research and methodological studies to identify causes of nonsampling errors and evaluate alternative design solutions.
• The Ethnographic Exploratory Research Report Series (EX) discuss the ethnography of certain patterns of behavior in defined U.S. socio-cultural groups which may affect census coverage.
• The Ethnographic Evaluation of the 1990 Decennial Census Reports (EV) discuss behavioral causes and correlates of undercount in the decennial census among Blacks, Hispanics, American Indians, recent immigrants from Asia, and undocumented immigrants primarily from Latin America and Haiti.

There are a limited number of papers that don't fall into any of these series - These papers are collected on a separate page.
