22. Categorical Estimates Categorical estimates are estimates of the number or percentage of the surveyed population possessing certain characteristics or falling into some defined category The number of households which have never used computer communications or the proportion of households for which one or more members have used a computer at home for E mail are examples of such estimates An estimate of the number of households possessing a certain characteristic may also be referred to as an estimate of an aggregate Examples of Categorical Questions Q How often do members of your household use computer communications at home in a typical month R At least 7 times per week at least 4 times per month etc Q In 1996 what was your total annual family income before taxes and deductions R Less than 5 000 5 000 to 10 000 and so on Quantitative Estimates Quantitative estimates are estimates of totals or of means medians and other measures of central tendency of quantities based upon some or all of the members of the surveyed population They also specifically involve estimates of the form X I where X is an estimate of surveyed population quantity total and Y is an estimate of the number of persons in the surveyed population contributing Special Surveys Division 30 Household Internet Use Survey Microdata User Guide to that total quantity Note that there were no true quantitative questions in the HIUS application
