Abstract
Some of the surveys conducted by the Swiss Federal Statistical Office (SFSO) are of a longitudinal nature, i.e. surveys where the units of a sample are observed repeatedly through time, one of the focuses of interest being change in the characteristics of a population. Typically, simple estimates of change are calculated for the population and for a large number of sub-populations. In general this is unsatisfactory, as the estimates for the sub-populations are often not accurate enough to detect changes of practical relevance.
