12 Statistical Methodology Survey procedures: Grower and processor surveys are conducted in preparation for this report. Telephone followup of mail survey nonrespondents is used to ensure adequate coverage. Other data are obtained via fax or personal interview. Estimating procedures: Information obtained from the vegetable surveys along with administrative data is used to establish forecasts of area and production. These forecasts are reviewed for errors, reasonableness, and consistency with historical estimates. Revision policy: Vegetable forecasts will not be revised. Endofseason estimates are made following harvest and are subject to revision the following year based on a thorough review of all available data. Reliability: Survey indications are subject to sampling variability because all operations growing vegetables are not included in the sample. Survey results are also subject to nonsampling errors such as omission, duplication, imputation for missing data, and mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the data. These errors cannot be measured directly, but are minimized through rigid quality controls in the data collection process and a careful review of all reported data for consistency and reasonableness.
