Abstract

The specific objective of our dgQG research is to develop and assess quality graphics for federal statistical summaries. The goal has been to develop methods for generating quality graphics that facilitate exploration by agency users evaluating data quality and looking for emergent trends, decision making by public policy makers, and communication of statistical summaries to the public. Among the project accomplishments, efforts can be categorized into three general foci: developing ESDA methods, supporting public communication, and facilitating internal data quality review by agency staff. Examples of ESDA advances are highlighted below.
