SAS Procedures for Analyzing Survey Data — Continuing Education CTW
ASA , SAS , Section on Survey Research Methods
Instructor(s): Pushpal K Mukhopadhyay, SAS Institute
The analysis of probability-based sample surveys requires specialized techniques that account for survey design elements, such as strata, clusters, and unequal weights. This workshop provides an overview of the basic functionality of the SAS/STAT® procedures that are developed specifically for selecting and analyzing probability samples for survey data. You will learn how to select probability samples with the SURVEYSELECT procedure, how to produce descriptive statistics with the SURVEYMEANS and SURVEYFREQ procedures, and how to build statistical models with the SURVEYREG, SURVEYLOGISTIC, and SURVEYPHREG procedures. Characteristics of different variance estimation techniques, including both Taylor series and replication methods, and domain (subpopulation) estimation techniques will also be discussed. The workshop is intended for a broad audience of statisticians who are interested in analyzing sample survey data. Familiarity with basic statistics, including regression analysis, is strongly recommended.
