Abstract
This chapter looks at one of the major problems on which the two authors worked together early in their history: Determining whether the 1980 Census of the U.S. population count should be adjusted or not. Examining this important issue not only allows us to review the tools we’ve introduced thus far, but to see them in operation. It also allows us to begin to talk about systems.
