Appendix 2: Sampling Variability Guidelines

Type of Estimate Coefficient of variation (CV) in % Guidelines
Acceptable: moderate sampling variability 0.0 ≤ CV ≤ 16.5 Estimates can be considered for general unrestricted release.
Marginal: high sampling variability 16.6 ≤ CV ≤ 33.3 Estimates can be considered for general unrestricted release but should be accompanied by a warning cautioning subsequent users of high sampling variability associated with the estimates.
Unacceptable: very high sampling variability CV > 33.3 Statistics Canada recommends not releasing estimates of unacceptable quality. The user is advised that these EBIC morbidity cost estimates do not meet Statistics Canada's quality standards for this statistical program. Conclusions based on these data will be unreliable and most likely invalid. These data and any consequent findings should not be published. If the user chooses to publish these data or findings, then this disclaimer must be published with the data.
