... The CPS also identifies all states, although We sample size is currently not large enough to support reliable estimates for more than a few of the largest states.l3 12It should be noted, however, that the population typically being analyzed is not the reported participant population but the eligible population, which, in the case of AFDC, might amount to as many as 1,200 cases in the larger and 700 cases in the smaller SIPP sample. 13Sampling variability in the March CPS has noticeable effects on the effort in the TRIM2 model to control simulated AFDC participants to targets Iran administrative records on a state-by-state basis.
