There is a growing interest in developing register-based surveys; that is surveys based upon already available administrative data. Since huge amounts of such data are generated within various administrative systems, the opportunity exists to use the data for statistical analysis without any of the costs involved in data collection. Register-based surveys require their own methodology and the development of these methods is an important challenge to statistical science. Instead of methods on how to collect data, methods for integrating data from different sources are necessary. How should administrative data be transformed to meet the statistical needs?Register-based Statistics offers readers a detailed account of the principles and practices of this increasingly popular area of statistics. Provides a comprehensive overview of register-based statistics, both in terms of theory and advanced application.Uses real life examples taken from Statistics Sweden to illustrate fundamental global principles.Proposes a much-needed systematic terminology for the field.Describes how to create statistical registers and a methodology for integration of data from many sources as a key tool for the future.Develops estimation methods and quality concepts for register-based surveys.Discusses statistical systems consisting of many statistical registers and surveys, highlighting the importance of consistency and coherence.Register-based Statistics provides a unique guide for all those working in statistical agencies. It will also prove invaluable for academic researchers and teachers in statistics, and statisticians working with administrative systems in government institutions and enterprises.

How can you present or organize your statistical or numerical data so that they are accessible and meaningful for your readers?

Graphing Statistics & Data introduces you to the technique and art of producing good charts. Carefully written with many examples and illustrations, the book begins with an introduction to the building blocks of charts (axes, scales, and patterns) and then describes each step the reader can use to create effective and easy-to-read charts. Throughout the book, the authors use numerous examples of real data as a basis for the maps and charts. They also include a chapter that shows step-by-step how to work from the data to the finished chart. Practical textual information serves as a guide for executing each stage of preparing a chart or graph. Sound charts do not draw attention to themselves for their own sake but make the reader aware of the qualities of the statistical data. Graphing Statistics & Data enables you to create charts that effectively present your data.

This book provides a comprehensive and up to date treatment of  theory and practical implementation in Register-based statistics. It begins by defining the area, before explaining how to structure such systems, as well as detailing alternative approaches. It explains how to create statistical registers, how to implement quality assurance, and the use of IT systems for register-based statistics. Further to this, clear details are given about the practicalities of implementing such statistical methods, such as protection of privacy and the coordination and coherence of such an undertaking.

This edition offers a full understanding of both the principles and practices of this increasingly popular area of statistics, and can be considered a first step to a more systematic way of working with register-statistical issues. This book addresses the growing global interest in the topic and employs a much broader, more international approach than the 1st edition. New chapters explore different kinds of register-based surveys, such as preconditions for register-based statistics and comparing sample survey and administrative data. Furthermore, the authors present discussions on register-based census, national accounts and the transition towards a register-based system as well as presenting new chapters on quality assessment of administrative sources and production process quality.

REGISTER-BASED STATISTICS Rediscover this authoritative guide to register-based statistics filled with significant new improvements In the newly revised Third Edition of Register-based Statistics: Registers and the National Statistical System, Anders Wallgren and Britt Wallgren deliver a robust exploration of how register-based statistics can be used to its fullest potential. The authors describe how statistical institutes can work on long-term projects to improve administrative systems, as well as estimation methods that can improve the quality of statistical estimates based on registers with quality problems. Readers will also discover how to improve the ways register-statistical issues are introduced, as well as how to create population registers. Finally, the authors draw on their experience from teaching and consulting in several countries to explain how to implement register-based statistics. Key features of the third edition: Discusses the problems new register countries faceExplains how registers will improve the efficiency of the national statistical systemClarifies the importance of the system approachDescribes how a statistical population register can be createdRegisters-based statistics require new skills and understanding of new concepts Many important quality indicators are describedExplains difficult topics in a pedagogic wayPerfect for staff at national statistical institutes and administrative and ministerial authorities belonging to national statistical systems, Register-based Statistics will also prove to be an indispensable resource for undergraduate and graduate students in statistics programs and courses, as well as survey researchers and practitioners.
