Proceedings of the Survey Methods Section THE USE OF THE GOODS AND SERVICES TAX BY THE MONTHLY RESTAURANTS, CATERERS AND TAVERNS SURVEY
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Monthly Restaurants, Caterers and Taverns Survey (MRCTS) collects sales data from a sample of restaurants, caterers and taverns in Canada. The sales estimates, an input to the System of National Accounts, are used by various agencies to develop national and regional economic policies and programs. Since May 2004, data from selected companies in the sample have been modeled using Goods and Service Tax (GST) data provided by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). We will discuss the usage of GST data by the MRCTS and its effects on the survey in terms of data quality and response burden. KEY WORDS: Data quality; response burden; tax data.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
