Modeling call record data

Abstract

"In face-to-face surveys, often employing a multistage sampling design, clustering due to both interviewers and areas (such as primary sampling units, PSUs) may occur. This chapter focuses on call record data for both face-to-face and telephone interview surveys. The implementation of the methods are illustrated using two example datasets, the UK Census link study dataset, including several UK face-to-face cross-sectional household surveys, and the German PASS longitudinal survey (Panel Study 'Labour Market and Social Security'). For the latter example, the telephone component will be analyzed. The remainder of the chapter is structured as follows. Section 12.2 describes type and structure of call record data. Different modeling approaches are presented in Section 12.3, outlining the multilevel modeling framework. In Section 12.4, the implementation of the methods is illustrated based on two examples. Concluding remarks are made in the final section." (Text excerpt, IAB-Doku) ((en))
