• Description:
  A description is given of an experimental study, the aims of which were to test the feasibility of conducting a multiplicity survey for marriages and births in Israel and to evaluate different counting rules. The study included an evaluation survey from which estimates of the components of mean square error were obtained. The results indicate that an overall reduction of mean square error was obtained by use of a multiplicity rule instead of a conventional rule. The substantial reduction in sampling error attained by the use of multiplicity was not offset by the slight increases in response bias and variance.
