To help assess the extent of this bias, family researchers can obtain find make use of a range of 'plausibly correlated characteristics (PCCs), such as marriage and divorce public records, that are typically available on nonrespondents and respondents alike. If analyses show that the respondent end nonrespondent groups differ on one or more of these PCCs, they can De used again to statistically "compensate" for the bias found in a recalculation of the study's findings. The compensation techniques most useful are weighting and hazard rate models. The article provides an extensive case example of these analyses.
