1980年，几个城市和州起诉美国人口普查局，要求更正人口普查结果。这一修正将调整对黑人和西班牙裔的差异性低估，特别是在城市。在这篇文章中，作者，每个人都为纽约市和国家作证，在他们的联合诉讼人口普查局，描述了可能的模式，少算，并提出了一种方法来调整它。作者描述了现有的数据调整方法，并介绍了一种基于回归的复合调整方法，该方法用于估计66个地区的欠计。“正如预期的那样，我们发现大城市的漏报率最高，黑人和拉美裔比例很小的州和州政府的漏报率最低。接下来，我们分析我们的估计对数据和建模假设的变化有多敏感。我们发现，这些变化对估计的影响不大。我们的结论是，无论我们使用简单方法还是复合方法，也无论我们如何改变复合方法的假设，调整可靠地减少了少数民族较少的州的人口比例，并增加了大城市的人口比例。"
"In 1980, several cities and states sued the U.S. Census Bureau to correct census results. This correction would adjust for the differential undercounting of Blacks and Hispanics, especially in cities. In this article, the authors, each of whom testified for New York City and State in their joint lawsuit against the Census Bureau, describe the likely pattern of the undercount and present a method to adjust for it." The authors describe available methods for data adjustment and introduce a regression-based composite method of adjustment, which is used to estimate the undercounts for 66 areas. "As expected, we find that the highest undercount rates are in large cities, and the lowest are in states and state remainders with small percentages of Blacks and Hispanics. Next, we analyze how sensitive our estimates are to changes in data and modeling assumptions. We find that these changes do not affect the estimates very much. Our conclusion is that regardless of whether we use one of the simple methods or the composite method and regardless of how we vary the assumptions of the composite method, an adjustment reliably reduces population shares in states with few minorities and increases the shares of large cities."
