econometric analyses, and experiments, and those parts of other studies
involving statistical methodology shall be described in a summary
statement, with supplementary details added in appendices so as to give
a comprehensive delineation of the assumptions made, the study plan
utilized and the procedures undertaken. In the case of sample surveys,
there shall be a clear description of the survey design, including the
definition of the universe under study, the sampling frame, and the
sampling units; an explanation of the method of selecting the sample
and the characteristics measured or counted. In the case of econometric
investigations, the econometric model shall be completely described and
the reasons given for each assumption and statistical specification.
The effects on the final results of changes in the assumptions should
be made clear. When alternative models and variables have been
employed, a record shall be kept of these alternative studies, so as to
be available upon request. In the case of experimental analyses, a
clear and complete description of the experimental design shall be set
forth, including a specification of the controlled conditions and how
the controls were realized. In addition, the methods of making
observations and the adjustments, if any, to observed data shall be
described. In the case of every kind of statistical study, the
following items shall be set forth clearly: The formulas used for
statistical estimates, standard errors and test statistics, the
description of statistical tests, plus all related computations,
computer programs and final results. Summary descriptions of input data
shall be submitted. Upon request, the actual input data shall be made
available.
(b) In the case of all studies and analyses offered in evidence in
common carrier hearing proceedings, other than the kinds described in
paragraph (a) of this section, there shall be a clear statement of the
study plan, all relevant assumptions and a description of the
techniques of data collection, estimation and/or testing. In addition,
there shall be a clear statement of the facts and judgments upon which
conclusions are based and a statement of the relative weights given to
the various factors in arriving at each conclusion, together with an
indication of the alternative courses of action considered. Lists of
input data shall be made available upon request.
