Extract: Multiple-frame surveys are susceptible to errors that stem from associating the over-lapping portions of the frames. Decreasing sampling error may improve precision, but it offers greater complications; nonsampling error would increase, leading to decreased accuracy and, perhaps, greater total error. This manuscript offers several procedures to improve consistency and accuracy of multiple-frame estimating by reducing nonsampling errors. Such procedures, when added to an optimum mix of sampling frames, would provide survey indications of greater reliability without increasing costs appreciably.

Excerpt from Error Profile for Multiple-Frame Surveys This report will show that there are several sources of nonsampling error in these surveys. These sources include failure to associate properly reporting unit and sampling unit, and failure to communicate clearly and concisely via the questionnaire, domain determination, estimation, and nonresponse.
