„As in the previous edition, this book is a good resource forpractitioners and cross-disciplinary researchers who use data fromcomplex survey designs.“ (Journal of the American StatisticalAssociation, March 2006)
„The first edition of the book was one of the first books in theexcellent Wiley U. K. series on Statistics in Practice.“(Technometrics, May 2005)
Large surveys are becoming increasingly available for public use, and researchers are often faced with the need to analyse complexsurvey data to address key scientific issues. For proper analysisit is also important to be aware of the different aspects of thedesign of complex surveys. Practical Methods for Design andAnalysis of Complex Surveys features intermediate and advancedstatistical techniques for use in designing and analysing complexsurveys. This extensively updated edition features much newmaterial, and detailed practical exercises with links to a Website, helping instructors and enabling use for distancelearning.
* Provides a comprehensive introduction to sampling and estimationin descriptive surveys, including design effect statistic and useof auxiliary data.
* Includes detailed coverage of complex survey analysis, includingdesign-based ANOVA and logistic regression with GEEestimation.
* Contains much new material, including handling of non-samplingerrors, and model-assisted estimation for domains.
* Features detailed real-li fe case studies, such as multilevelmodeling in a multinational educational survey.
* Supported by a Web site containing software codes, real datasets, computerized exercises with solutions, and online trainingmaterials.
Practical Methods for Design and Analysis of Complex Surveysprovides a useful practical resource for researchers andpractitioners working in the planning, implementation or analysisof complex surveys and opinion polls, including business, educational, health, social, and socio-economic surveys andofficial statistics. In addition, the book is well suited for useon intermediate and advanced courses in survey sampling.
