Issued without a dust jacket. -- Complex Survey Data Analysis with SAS is a practical, technical reference focused on applying the SAS/STAT SURVEY procedures to analyze data derived from complex survey designs. It assumes a foundational understanding of standard statistical methods and is intended for analysts working with data that do not conform to the assumptions of simple random sampling. The book begins with a detailed conceptual introduction to the four features that render a survey "complex": finite population corrections (FPCs), stratification, clustering, and unequal weights. These features are unpacked using hypothetical examples and real-world surveys, such as the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, the National Survey of Family Growth, and the Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey, providing applied context for methodological explanation. Each chapter then focuses on a specific analytical tool within the SAS/STAT SURVEY suite. Chapter 2 addresses sampling designs using PROC SURVEYSELECT, including simple, systematic, stratified, and probability-proportional-to-size (PPS) techniques. Subsequent chapters cover descriptive and inferential analysis of continuous and categorical variables using PROC SURVEYMEANS and PROC SURVEYFREQ, respectively, highlighting correct variance estimation under different design features. Linear regression modeling with complex survey data is treated using PROC SURVEYREG, while logistic regression models - binary, multinomial, and ordinal - are analyzed using PROC SURVEYLOGISTIC, with emphasis on proper variance estimation and model fitting. Chapter 7 introduces survival analysis with complex data via PROC SURVEYPHREG and discrete-time models using PROC SURVEYLOGISTIC, demonstrating how time-to-event data from stratified or clustered samples can be analyzed with SAS syntax. Later chapters address more advanced topics often overlooked in introductory texts. Chapter 8 explores domain estimation, including the risks of data subsetting and proper use of the DOMAIN statement for subgroup analysis. Chapter 9 presents replication methods for variance estimation, such as balanced repeated replication (BRR), Fay's method, jackknife, and bootstrap techniques, discussing their applicability, benefits, and implementation in SAS. Chapters 10 and 11 focus on missing data, offering procedures for weight adjustment (including poststratification, raking, and propensity models) and imputation. The imputation chapter explains single and multiple techniques, addresses univariate and multivariate missingness patterns, and discusses how to incorporate design features into imputation models and post-imputation analyses. The book's strength lies in its clear procedural structure and commitment to practical implementation: each method is paired with worked SAS examples, using consistent survey data contexts. Variance estimation is a recurring theme, with each procedure's ability to handle complex design features explicitly demonstrated. Throughout, the text emphasizes the statistical consequences of ignoring survey design features and guides users on using SURVEY procedures instead of their standard SAS counterparts. Rather than attempting to replace theoretical texts on sampling (like those by Kish, Cochran, or Lohr), this volume serves as an applied bridge between theory and software use, specifically within the SAS environment.

Complex Survey Data Analysis with SAS® is an invaluable resource for applied researchers analyzing data generated from a sample design involving any combination of stratification, clustering, unequal weights, or finite population correction factors. After clearly explaining how the presence of these features can invalidate the assumptions underlying most traditional statistical techniques, this book equips readers with the knowledge to confidently account for them during the estimation and inference process by employing the SURVEY family of SAS/STAT® procedures.
The book offers comprehensive coverage of the most essential topics, including:
The easy-to-follow examples are drawn from real-world survey data sets spanning multiple disciplines, all of which can be downloaded for free along with syntax files from the author’s website: http://mason.gmu.edu/~tlewis18/.
While other books may touch on some of the same issues and nuances of complex survey data analysis, none features SAS exclusively and as exhaustively. Another unique aspect of this book is its abundance of handy workarounds for certain techniques not yet supported as of SAS Version 9.4, such as the ratio estimator for a total and the bootstrap for variance estimation.

To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us, killarneybooks, Gortagass, 0000, Kenmare, Ireland, 353 857512674, of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You may use the attached model cancellation form, but it is not obligatory. You can also electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". If you use this option, we will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a cancellation on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel with contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us or killarneybooks, Gortagass, 0000, Kenmare, Ireland, 353 857512674, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
