Description:
This module is part of a series of short (CPD - Continuous Professional Development) courses in Social/Official statistics delivered at the University of Southampton - Highfield campus.
Analysis of Complex Survey Data aims to present methods for statistical modelling, in particular for linear and logistic regression modelling, based on complex survey data with an emphasis on the impact of differential weighting, stratification and clustering. The module will also discuss issues associated with testing for goodness of fit and independence using tabulated survey data. Hands on exposure to the survey analysis and modelling facilities of the STATA or R packages will form an integral part of the module.
