Description

ABOUT THE COURSE:In order to extract maximum information at minimum cost, sample designs are typically more complex than simple random samples. Cluster sampling and stratified designs are common. But how do you analyze the resulting data - in particular, how do you determine margins of error? This online course, "Analysis of Survey Data from Complex Sample Designs" teaches you how to estimate variances when analyzing survey data from complex samples, and also how to fit linear and logistic regression models to complex sample survey data.COURSE CONTENTMODULE 1: Overview
