Wouter J. Keller, Jelke G. Bethlehem · COMPSTAT · 1988
National statistical offices process huge quantities of data. The use of recent developments in the fields of statistics and computer technology are a prerequisite for efficient production of high quality statistics. At the Netherlands Central Bureau of Statistics an increasing use is made of (personal) computers in all steps of the statistical production process. This paper discusses the role of the computer in data collection, data editing, tabulation, and analysis. Particularly, attention is payed to the Blaise System for computer assisted survey processing, a system which controls various steps in the statistical production process.
