Calibration estimators in staistical surveys

Summary/Abstract: The literature proposes two basic statistical techniques: imputation and weighting. They mitigate the negative impact of non-response test results. One of the weighing methods, used by some foreign statistical offices, is calibration, which consists of correcting the output weights resulting from the sampling scheme using a variety of auxiliary variables. Calibration can also be used in the complete surveys, and the starting point in its practical application is to establish an appropriate baseline — artificial weights. This article presents an example of how to use the calibration approach. With it one can create contingency tables based on the data from complete surveys (censuses, administrative records).
