Data sources and methodology
Target population
Classified under the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code 335110, this industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing all types of electric lamps (bulbs and tubes).
Sampling
This is a sample survey with a cross-sectional design.
Data sources
Responding to this survey is mandatory.
Data are collected directly from survey respondents.
On a monthly basis the spreadsheet template is mailed electronically to each respondent. The completed template, with data for the current reference period is returned electronically, and if necessary a telephone follow-up call is carried out to clarify questions regarding the data. Data are captured, computer edited and tabulated within a 20 working day period after the reference date.
A copy of the spreadsheet used for data collection is available from the Division.
Imputation
Contacting the respondent. A comparison with the previous month of the same year. A comparison with the same month of the previous year. Using historical ratios.
Quality evaluation
1. Observe trends in the industry
2. Comparison with MSM data
3. Compare data with national economy and other manufacturing industries.
Disclosure control
Statistics Canada is prohibited by law from releasing any information it collects that could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Various confidentiality rules are applied to all data that are released or published to prevent the publication or disclosure of any information deemed confidential. If necessary, data are suppressed to prevent direct or residual disclosure of identifiable data.
In order to prevent any data disclosure, confidentiality analysis is done using the Statistics Canada Generalized Disclosure Control System (G-Confid). G-Confid is used for primary suppression (direct disclosure) as well as for secondary suppression (residual disclosure). Direct disclosure occurs when the value in a tabulation cell is composed of or dominated by few enterprises while residual disclosure occurs when confidential information can be derived indirectly by piecing together information from different sources or data series.
Data accuracy
The survey frame is based mainly on the Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM). Since the ASM lags behind this commodity survey, there is a risk of undercoverage but this is minimal because of advanced information from the ASM frame and feedback from the Monthly Survey of Manufacturing (MSM).
