This report discusses missing data problems in the estimation of undercount for the 1986 Test of Adjustment Related Operations (TARO). It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the design of TAR0 and the basic ideas of dual-system estimation, as described in Diffendal (1987) and Wolter (1986).
Section 1 describes the data needed for undercount estimation in TARO. Sections 2-5 discuss the types of missing data that occurred in TARO, the extent to which they occurred, and the methods used to handle them. Finally, Section 6 presents undercount estimates under several alternative treatments of missing data.
