About the Presenter:
Dr. Xuehao Chu is a senior research associate at the Center for Urban Transportation Research, University of South Florida since 1993. He has his BS degree in Mathematics from Hangzhou University, China and his Ph.D. in Economics
from the University of California at Irvine. His recent work focuses on developing manuals and tools for practitioners, including the National Transit Database Sampling Manual and the American Community Survey Statistical Analyzer.
About the Session:
This session introduces and demonstrates the ACS Statistical Analyzer. It is an Excel-based template for users of estimates from the American Community Survey (ACS) to assess the precision of individual estimates and to compare pairs of estimates
for their statistical differences. The ACS Statistical Analyzer covers the following four functions and fifteen sub-functions (not listed):
- To derive other precision measures for published ACS estimates at American FactFinder or from the Census Transportation Planning Products (CTPP), which already have a margin of error (MOE).
- To derive the precision measures for estimates that do not already have an MOE.
- To derive the precision measures of new estimates obtained from two or more original estimates that already have an MOE.
- To compare pairs of two estimates that already have an MOE.
