Abstract

Statistical agencies collect lot of data through surveys. The quality of the information released by the agencies depends on the correctness of these surveys. Therefore it is essential to debug surveys, eliminating the inherent errors in records. For this purpose, the agencies devote a large amount of economic and human resources to editing and imputation. TEIDE2 is a computer tool which attempts to reduce this resource consumption by automating the inconsistency detection and imputation of missing values, while maintaining the statistical properties of the original survey. We illustrate the use of TEIDE2 on some realistic surveys.
