13 Accuracy and reliabilityUp | |
---|---|
13.1 Overall accuracy | |
Questionnaires are collected and checked electronically. Electronic questionnaires and data collection system provide a number of various arithmetic and logical controls. Regional staff is in close contact with the respondents. Central staff checks the preliminary results. Final results are approved and prepared for publication. |
|
13.2 Sampling error | |
Not relevant. The survey is exhaustive.
|
|
13.3 Non-sampling error | |
The electronic questionnaire itself provides many arithmetic and logical checks between variables, which we distinguish between serious and informative. If there are serious errors in the form, it is not accepted and, after consultation with the reporting unit, it will be corrected so that it is correct and entered into processing. With these tools we try to minimize errors in the actual collection and subsequently during the data processing. |

15.3 Coherence - cross domain | |
Cross-checks are made between SBS, external trade and STS at micro and macro level. We realise next types of comparison analysis:
The cases with differences are further analysed and corrected, if necessary.The value of production for all the products in the same 4 digit NACE class are summed and compared with national turnover in that class according Structural Business Statistics. |

17.1 Data revision - policy | |
Revisions are in conformity with standards, time-tested and transparent. They are described in decision ROZ-3/2018 Revision Policy of the SO SR. According to Revision Policy of the SO SR the revised data are accompanied by all necessary explanations (reasons, character, etc.), they are accessible via the SO SR Portal. The Revision Policy of the SO SR as well as all necessary explanations are accessible via the SO SR Portal. Revision Policy of the SO SR A Calendar of Revisions is issued and published via the SO SR Portal. Calendar of the Revisions of the SO SR We distinguish: Routine revisions – regular revisions of data not influenced by change of methodology. In general, the monthly/quarterly data is considered to be preliminary. Routine revisions of data may be necessary due to data available from quarterly enterprise surveys, new data received from reporting units, correction of price indices or corrected data from reporting units. The revised data for the last 3 months of the quarter are published together with the preliminary results of the following month/quarter. The publication of the revised data is done periodically in line with Calendar of revisions Extra-ordinary revisions – not scheduled in the Calendar of revisions. Extra-ordinary revisions include revisions of definitive data due to changes of methodology, changes of classifications, change of base year, changes of mathematical/statistical methods of data calculation. Those revisions may result in a break in time series of data. The users are informed via Press releases in advance. At present, numeric information on the size of revisions of data is not available. The policy on vintage database is laid down in the Revision Policy of SO SR. Practical implementation of the policy is being prepared in the statistical information system. Vintage database of raw data exists in source database and is not publicly accessible. Data and documents regarding the revision is kept. General information about revision and methodological explanation is published, if relevant. Coherence of the revision policy is respected for the data released nationally and disseminated to Eurostat. |

18.1 Source data | |
The reporting obligation of Priem 6-01 has enterprises registered in the Business Register, profit-oriented contributory organizations and public institutions with 20 or more employees and organizations with 0 to 19 employees with annual turnover of EUR 5 million or more, which are kept in the register of organizations of the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic, with the main industrial activity according to the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities (SK NACE). Furthermore, they are selected organizations regardless of the industry activity and the category of the number of employees for which there is a significant volume of production of industrial products. The non-industrial enterprises are included if their value of production of a particular product is more than 50% of the average output for enterprises classified to the relevant NACE Class to which that product is typically related. |
|
18.2 Frequency of data collection | |
Annual.
|
|
18.3 Data collection | |
Data collection is organized by specialised section of the SO SR in Banska Bystrica. Each reporting unit /enterprise/ has to register with his name and password on the SO SR website and afterwards fiil in electronic questionnaires at the beginning of the year for the previous year. Filled in questionnaire should be submitted on the SO SR website by reporting unit on the March 31, which is 90 days after the calendar day following the end of the reference year. Specialised section of the Regional office of the SO SR in Banska Bystrica controls the submission of the electronic questionnaires. The non-responding units are informed about their reporting duty again electronically, by mail or by phone. Mainly phone reminders help considerably to cease the non-response rate. There are no problems with reporting discipline in the case of big enterprises. The basic step in the process of unit non-response calculation is the analysis of population with regard to the status of activity of reporting units. For this purpose we use the classification of special response and non-response cases. The particular codes describing active and non-active units are allocated to every reporting unit. Afterwards we define eligible units: they are all active responding and non-responding units. In some cases it is not possible to obtain any information about the unit. In this case we suppose there is the same share of active and non-active units as in the known population. The part corresponding to active units we consider to be non-responding units. |

18.4 Data validation | |
The data entry, data completeness and statistical control are organised by section of the SO SR in Banska Bystrica. It has been distinguished between two levels of checking:
Most of the errors are directly consulted with the reporting units by our regional offices. Data validation in Industry Department in Bratislava:
