| This workshop will highlight two new procedures and several new features in SUDAAN Release 10, which will be available in early August 2008. SUDAAN is a statistical software package for the analysis of complex survey and other cluster-correlated data. We will focus on the new PROC HOTDECK procedure that conducts sequential weighted hot deck imputation; the PROC WTADJUST procedure that computes weight adjustments; and the addition of model-adjusted risk ratios, a test for the proportional odds assumption, exponentiated point estimates defined by EFFECTS statement contrasts, a SORTED option on the NEST statement, the use of character variables in all procedures, and several enhancements to the PRINT statement. The workshop will include a brief introduction to SUDAAN syntax. Attendees are not required to be SUDAAN users, but should have knowledge of statistical issues that arise when analyzing survey and other correlated data. The new SUDAAN features will be demonstrated on complex survey data. We will demonstrate proper implementation of SUDAAN, provide interpretation of the output, and discuss statistical issues related to the data. All course material, including a 30-day trial version of SUDAAN Release 10, will be provided. | ||
