Progress 10/01/03 to 09/30/04
Outputs This project developed over 450 summary statistical tables from ARMS Phase II data for 1996-2000 on pest management and pesticide use, soil management, water management and water use, and nutrient management and nutrient use. Data summary tables were published on the ERS website and were subsequently incorporated into the ERS online ARMS Extranet data product.
Impacts While the ARMS estimates are "publishable" under the current USDAs quality validating process, the "reliability" of these estimates requires employing the statistical concepts of both precision and confidence levels of parameter estimates.

Progress 10/01/02 to 09/30/03
Outputs As of 6/12/03, the USDA procedures on quality validation of the ARMS-Phase II estimates have been reviewed. While the ARMS estimates are "publishable" under the current USDAas quality validating process, the "reliability" of these estimates requires employing the statistical concepts of both precision and confidence levels of parameter estimates.
