许多调查机构使用回复率作为调查数据质量的指标。因此，实施了各种措施以减少不响应或将响应维持在可接受的水平。然而，反应率不一定是无反应偏差的良好指标。更高的反应率并不意味着更小的非反应偏差。重要的是响应的组成与样本整体的组成有何不同。本文描述了r指标的概念，以评估样本和响应之间的潜在差异。这些指标可能有助于分析不同实地工作策略或数据收集模式之间随时间推移的调查反应。给出了一些实际的例子。
Many survey organizations use the response rate as an indicator for the quality of survey data. As a consequence, a variety of measures are implemented to reduce non-response or to maintain response at an acceptable level. However, the response rate is not necessarily a good indicator of non-response bias. A higher response rate does not imply smaller non-response bias. What matters is how the composition of the response differs from the composition of the sample as a whole. This paper describes the concept of R-indicators to assess potential differences between the sample and the response. Such indicators may facilitate analysis of survey response over time, between various fieldwork strategies or data collection modes. Some practical examples are given.
