  • A Note on the Measurement of Digital Preference in Age Recordings

  • N. H. Carrier

  • 1. The field of biased and unbiased errors in recorded ages is vast, and there are many opportunities for research in it. This note is restricted to a consideration of a small part of the field. First, only errors from digital preference are considered, i.e. errors to move the age to one with a preferred end digit such as 0 or 5 or in general any even number. Secondly, concentrations at isolated ages which are a genuine feature of the population are not considered. Thirdly, the use of supplementary data (such as birth registrations) or supplementary calculations (such as graduation) is ignored.
