The CCM operations for the dress
rehearsal is a dry run to ensure all planned coverage measurement
operations are working as expected, they are integrated internally
and that they are coordinated with the appropriate census
operations. The CCM operations planned for the dress rehearsal, to
the extent possible, will mirror those that will be conducted for
the 2010 Census to provide estimates of net coverage error and
components of coverage error (omissions and erroneous enumerations)
for housing units and persons in housing units. The data collection
and matching methodologies for previous coverage measurement
programs were designed only to measure net coverage error, which
reflects the difference between omissions and erroneous
inclusions.
