Description

Data quality flag for all variables in person record.

In some years, the census PUMS differentiated between two types of editing processes: allocations and substitutions. Allocation was the method used to create QAUGMENT and its household-level counterpart, QAUGMENH. QAUGMENT is available for 1990 and 2000. During these years, the exact allocation processes used by the census are not differentiated from one another and thus allocations in QAUGMENT may be the result of one of four types: pre-edits, consistency edits, hot deck allocations and cold deck allocations.

The variable, QSUBSTIH, which is available in 1970 and 2000, can be used as a data quality flag for all variables in the household or person records, which identifies edits made through the substitution process. The exact method used for this substitution is not fully clear, though it is similar to the hot deck allocation method, and was administered through a computer editing process.
