Abstract:

This roundtable discussion will aim to spark conversation on state-of-the-art (and available) computing methods for taking model-based approaches to the analysis of complex sample survey data. Topics for discussion include multilevel modeling of panel (longitudinal) survey data, programs for handling survey weights appropriately when fitting multilevel models to survey data, general software options for applied researchers working with survey data, published examples where participants might be willing to share code from the analyses, and how to make recommendations for non-statistical clientele.
