Abstract: At a seven-state level, four methods of data collection yield significantly different estimates of the number of hogs. This significance is due to a multivariate test on operators reporting a positive number of hogs. Data collection methods also have a significant interaction with the states and cause a difference in response rates which is almost significant.
