FAQ zur Datenqualität
Wie gewährleistet YouGov die Qualität der Daten?
Unser Anspruch ist es, Ihnen die höchste Datengenauigkeit der Marktforschungsbranche zu bieten. Möglich macht das unser firmeneigenes Panel. Natürlich gibt es viele Parameter, um die Qualität eines Panels zu bewerten. Essenziell wichtig ist aber immer, dass das Panel die Zielgruppe nach höchsten statistischen Standards und in ihrer ganzen Vielfältigkeit abbilden kann.
Wie exakt sind die Daten von YouGov?
Dank Aktualisierungen in Echtzeit kann YouGov Änderungen bei Trends und Verhalten genauestens verfolgen. Unsere Umfragen zur Wahlabsicht sind für ihre Genauigkeit und ihr wegweisendes MRP-Modell bekannt. Laut New York Times verdankt YouGov seine exzellente Leistung der sorgfältigen Zusammenstellung seines Befragten-Panels und einem ausgefeilten Prozess für die Stichprobenauswahl.
Wie groß ist das Panel, das YouGov für die Datenerhebung nutzt?
Das firmeneigene Panel von YouGov zählt mehr als 29 Millionen registrierte Mitglieder in über 55 Märkten. Anders als bei unseren Mitbewerbern gibt es bei uns kein Outsourcing der Strichprobenauswahl. Wir geben Ihnen direkten Zugang zu dem branchenweit größten und repräsentativsten Panel, das kontinuierlich weiter ausgebaut wird. Der Umfang und die Reichweite unseres Panels sorgen dafür, dass wir Ihnen hoch präzise Informationen liefern können.
Wie verbessert YouGov die Stichprobengenauigkeit?
Wir gewichten unsere Umfrageergebnisse, um sicherzustellen, dass sie die Zielgruppe, etwa die Bevölkerung eines Landes, präzise abbilden. Durch Berücksichtigung demografischer Faktoren, wie Alter, Geschlecht und Bildung, lassen sich so die realen Merkmale der Bevölkerung eines Landes samt ihrer natürlichen Gemeinsamkeiten abbilden.
How is YouGov committed to maintaining a representative sample and accurate weighting methodology?
YouGov Profiles is our flagship audience intelligence product. It assembles data on a wide range of topics that are collected from diverse, overlapping samples. This results in the vast range of data available.
YouGov applies rigorous panel quality checks designed to deliver high quality data from verified respondents, helping ensure clean, trustworthy data from real people.
YouGov Profiles data benefits from our recent enhancement: the statistical methodology of hot deck imputation. Used by other official statistics organisations, such as the U.S. Census bureau, this approach allows us to statistically estimate representative data in cases where coverage may be limited across certain questions. Hot deck imputation can help to improve weighting accuracy, reduce data variability and improve the accuracy of population size estimates within YouGov Profiles.
