Abstract

Statistical Data Editing (SDE) is the process of checking data for errors and correcting them. Winkler (1999) defined it as the set of methods used to edit (i.e., clean up) and impute (fill in) missing or contradictory data. The result of SDE is data that can be used for analytic purposes.
