Homogeneity in Turkish Fertility Survey: implications for cluster size derived from homogeneity in basic survey...

"This study examines several error statistics derived from the computed variance in basic survey variables of the Turkish Fertility Survey (1978). These are standard error, design factor, design effect and rate of homogeneity. [The] results are presented for the total sample as well as for subclasses. [It is demonstrated that] previous knowledge about the homogeneity and cluster size of main survey variables [will help] to design better surveys in the future. This process can be further extended for other survey variables by imputation." (summary in TUR)
