"In repetitive surveys, there are respondents which for every period report the same figures also to questions which certainly require the answers to change between periods. They (these figures) are termed IN-LIERS because they always lie between the bounds of traditional edits. In her experiments, Mazur has found that these IN-LIERS may cause considerable bias in the estimates." L. GRANQUIST, "A Review of some Macro-editing Methods for Rationalizing the Editing Process", Statistics Canada Symposium 90.
