SAS® Procedures for Analyzing Survey Data — Continuing Education CTW
ASA , SAS
Instructor(s): Pushpal Mukhopadhyay, SAS Institute Inc.
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 SAS/STAT® procedures that have been developed specifically to select and analyze 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. The workshop discusses different variance estimation techniques, including both Taylor series and replication methods. It also covers topics such as domain (subpopulation) estimation and poststratification. 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.
