Survey Data Analysis with Stata - Continuing Education - CTW
ASA
Instructor(s): Jeffrey Pitblado, StataCorp LP
This workshop will cover how to use Stata for survey data analysis, assuming a fixed population. Knowledge of Stata is not required, but attendees are assumed to have some statistical knowledge, such as what is typically covered in an introductory statistics course. We will begin by reviewing the sampling methods used to collect survey data and how they affect the estimation of totals, ratios, and regression coefficients. We will then cover the three variance estimators implemented in Stata's survey estimation commands. Stata with a single sampling unit, certainty sampling units, subpopulation estimation, and post-stratification will also be covered in some detail. Each topic will be illustrated with an example in a Stata session.
