This second edition presents and comments on three basic principles that statistical agencies must embody in order to carry out their mission fully: (1) They must produce objective data that are relevant to policy issues, (2) they must achieve and maintain credibility among data users, and (3) they must achieve and maintain trust among data providers. The book also discusses 11 important practices that are means for statistical agencies to live up to the four principles. These practices include a commitment to quality and professional practice and an active program of methodological and substantive research.Compass series (Washington, D.C.)Statistical servicesUnited StatesStatistical services352.7/5/0973Martin Margaret E1811916Straf Miron L1811917Citro Constance F(Constance Forbes),1942-1804879National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on National Statistics.National Research Council (U.S.).Commission on Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957219503321Principles and practices for a federal statistical agency4364080UNINA
