Summary

With many examples and exercises based on major real-world survey data sets, this book provides a practical statistical overview of the analysis of complex sample survey data. It presents many methods and models for survey data analysis, including the linear regression, generalized linear, Cox proportional hazards, and discrete time models. It also explores new developments in advanced statistical techniques, such as multilevel analysis of survey data. The authors show how design characteristics are easily incorporated into the statistical methods and software for survey estimation and inference. Although Stata is used for most examples in the text, other software code is offered on the book's website.
