| Missing Data | Prior to 2008, missing data and not applicable data were left as blank. These values are not differentiated.
The current policy is to identify the missing data as follows:
A coded value would be composed of 9s such that the entire length of the field is filled.
For example a code of' '999' would be used for a missing field of three characters.
Not applicable or skipped variables are left blank.
|
| Processing Checks | For the first time in the history of the GSS the survey was conducted using Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) “bubble” questionnaire. To enter the data, these questionnaires were read by high speed scanners. The data processing team was able to perform simple on-line edit corrections while scanning. The data was then gradually transferred into a customized Access application for further, more complex validations. The Access application produced clean, validated and documented data files. The clean data generated by the Access cleaning application was then processed through SPSS statistical package to produce a standard output bulletin .
The hardware for the CWIQ data processing consisted of four NSC Opscan4 (OMR), computers and accessories. Three scanners were used while the fourth served as a standby. The main program used for data processing was the CWIQ application. It was developed on Microsoft Access and V-Basic. The application among other functions, validates to check inconsistencies in the scanned data.
