Description:
We often learn statistical data analysis skills using data which is assumed to arise from a simple random sample of the target population. However, most large scale multi-purpose social survey data resources use complex sampling strategies. These include many of the UK’s large scale infrastructural data resources such as Understanding Society or the Millennium Cohort Study. Complex sample designs need to be taken into account when analysing these data if we intend to make inferences to a wider population.
This workshop will provide students with the skills to appropriately analyse complex samples data using the statistical data analysis package, Stata.
Participants will need to have Stata Version 17 installed on their computer. Please ensure all new Stata 17 updates have been installed by running the ‘update all’ command in Stata.
Participants who cannot access Stata Version 17 via their organisation may be able to request a short trial license from Stata Corp. The NCRM is unable to provide software to participants.
