Sampling permitted?[edit]

Utah argued that, although the census statute allowed the Bureau to use sampling to address under-counting, hot-deck imputation did not fit the statute's concept of sampling

The text of the judgement seems to contradict this: 'Utah brought this suit... claiming that the Bureau's use of "hot-deck imputation" violates 13 U. S. C. §195, which prohibits use of "the statistical method known as 'sampling,' "'.

As far as I can tell from the judgement, Utah's argument was that the statute forbade use of sampling for determining apportionment of representatives, and the court ruled against Utah because 'Bureau imputation in the year 2000 census differs from sampling in several critical respects'. --GenericBob (talk) 04:08, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
