Sampling
Sampling Procedure
Comprehensive Survey
Response Rate
Number of enterprises(Sample) 565
·Non-response cases was 81.
·Over coverage cases was 50.
·Net sample: 565-50= 515.
·Response rate: 84.3%.
·Non-response rate: 15.7%.
·Non-response cases was 81.
·Over coverage cases was 50.
·Net sample: 565-50= 515.
·Response rate: 84.3%.

Data Processing
Data Editing
For insuring quality and consistency of data a set of measures were taken into account for strengthening accuracy of data as follows:
·Preparing data entry program before data collection for checking readiness of the program for data entry.
·A set of validation rules were applied on the program for checking consistency of data.
·Efficiency of the program was checked through pre-testing in entering few questionnaires, including incorrect information for checking its efficiency, in capturing these information.
·Well trained data keyers were selected and trained for the main data entry.
·Weekly or biweekly data files were received by project management for checking accuracy and consistency, notes of correction are provided for data entry management for correction.

Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
Non-Statistical Errors
These types of errors could appear on one or all the survey stages that include data collection and data entry
Response errors: these types of errors are related to, responders, fieldworkers, and data entry personnel's. And to avoid mistakes and reduce the impact has been a series of actions that would enhance the accuracy of the data through a process of data collection from the field and the data processing.
