Some coverage error models for census data.
"Alternative models are presented for representing coverage error in surveys and censuses of human populations.  The models are related to the capture-recapture models used in wildlife applications and to the dual-system models employed in the vital events literature.  Estimation methodologies are discussed for one of the coverage error models."  After a discussion of the theory underlying the methodology, "distinctions are made between two kinds of error:  (a) sampling error and (b) error associated with the model.  An example involving data from the 1980 U.S. census is presented.  The problem of adjusting census and survey data for coverage error is also discussed."
