Industrial classification in the Canadian Census of Manufactures : automated verification using product data / by John S. Crysdale.: CS11-0019/20E-PDF
"Proper industrial classification of establishments is fundamental to the achievement of useful industry statistics. This paper describes an automated procedure used by Statistics Canada to verify industry coding in the Census of Manufactures. The edit also serves as a check on the accuracy of the detailed product data upon which the industry calculation is based. Some exceptions to the simple algorithm are reviewed, along with its impact on measures of industrial homogeneity. A number of suggestions are made as to how to the assignment of industry codes can be further standardized and automated."--Abstract.
