At a seven-state level, four methods of data collection yield significantly different estimates of the number of hogs. This significance is due to a multivariate test on operators reporting a positive number of hogs. Data collection methods also have a significant interaction with the states and cause a difference in response rates which is almost significant.

Note
This research project tests the effects of four possible methods of collecting hog data for list frame surveys: 1) the operational method, 2) a mail-personal delivery method, 3) a telephone-personal interview method, and 4) a method using only personal interviews. An analysis of these four methods uses hog data from the list frame surveys in seven states.
