  1. Introduction to repest Francois Keslair

  2. Different types of error • Measurementerror (non samplingerror) • Samplingerror Can impact: - point estimates - standard errors

  3. Repest is a Stata routine (ado file), freely available at IDEAS, that: Is specially designed for complex survey designs: Accommodates final weights and uses replicate weights for the sampling variance; Allows analysis with multiply imputed variables: Accepts plausible values and incorporates imputation variance in the computation of total variance. By Francesco Avvisati and Francois Keslair (OECD)

  4. Origins • One generictoolfor all OECD skillssurveysisbettersurveysthanseveralspecificones. • Making life easier for internalandexternalusers Program coreprinciple: Repestrunanyeclass command insideloops over plausible values and/or replicatedweights

  5. Empirical distribution of the statistics Eachnumbercomesfrom a standard stata command

  6. The variance for a statistic X* with plausible values is given by Sampling variance for each plausible value (80 replicates per PV) Imputation variance (variability of estimates across PVs) • : r-th estimate for plausible value p • : final estimate (i.e. with final weights) for plausible value p • : average of the plausible values • : variance factor (depends on replication method: BRR, jackknife-1, jk-2,…)
