Description: This papers describes the use of composite estimation and state space modelling techniques for analysis of data from a repeated survey. The techniques take account of common sample between successive months and the resulting autocorrelation structure of the sampling error.   The techniques are illustrated by an investigation of the effect of introducing telephone interviewing in the Australian Labour Force Survey.
