Synopsis

Social scientists are demanding more analytic studies of social survey data in order to examine a variety of emerging issues. Answering this need, Analyzing Complex Survey Data offers an effective means of examining and analyzing complex surveys -- and how to overcome problems that often arise. It includes discussions on the choices involved in variance estimates, simple random sampling without replacement, stratified random sampling and two-stage cluster sampling, and outlines the different computer programs that are currently available.
