Analysis of Complex Sample Survey Data using Microsoft Excel, SPSS, Stata QGIS, R
Details
The training objective of these two weeks Training in Analysis of Complex Sample Survey Data will impact skills that are of very high demand in Data Management & Analysis. This course provides an introduction to specialized software procedures that have been developed for the analysis of complex sample survey data including testing for between-group differences in means and proportions, regression analysis, logistic regression and multilevel modelling.
Most standard statistical procedures in software packages commonly used for data analysis (e.g. SAS, SPSS, and STATA) do not allow the analyst to take into account characteristics often associated with survey data, including missing data, unequal probabilities of selection, stratified multistage sample designs, and measurement errors.
