TAPS Documentation
Codebook -- The TAPS documentation is sorted three ways below to aid you in locating information.
- Alpha (sorted alphabetically by variable name)
- Recurring Topic (sorted by topics, showing how many time a question has been asked of the panel)
- Month-to-Month (sorted by monthly survey)
Technical Report -- The technical report gives information on response rates, sample sizes, how to use weights, variable name explanation, etc.
The resulting sample design and expected outcome is as follows:
| Stratum | Mailing count | Mailing distribution | Yields proportion | Yields count | Profiled proportion | Profiled count | Strata distributions sample | Strata distributions frame |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
