Abstract
The method for estimating residency rates in random digit dial (RDD) telephone surveys is important for computing response rates. This article reviews existing methods of estimating residency rates and introduces a new "survival" method that takes advantage of more information to provide improved estimates. Examples of applying this to large RDD samples are given along with suggestions for use of the method in other surveys.Keywords
