Taking a practical approach that draws on the authors’ extensive teaching, consulting, and research experiences, Applied Survey Data Analysis  provides an intermediate-level statistical overview of the analysis of complex sample survey data. It emphasizes methods and worked examples using available software procedures while reinforcing the principles and theory that underlie those methods.

Designed for readers working in a wide array of disciplines who use survey data in their work, this book also provides a useful framework for integrating more in-depth studies of the theory and methods of survey data analysis. A guide to the applied statistical analysis and interpretation of survey data, it contains many examples and practical exercises based on major real-world survey data sets.
There are many quality software choices out there for survey data analysts. We selected Stata® for all book examples due to its ease of use and flexibility for survey data analysis, but examples have been replicated to the greatest extent possible using the SAS®, SPSS®, IVEware, SUDAAN®, R, WesVar®, and Mplus software packages on the book Web site (http://www.isr.umich.edu/src/smp/asda/ ). Appendix A reviews software procedures that are currently available for the analysis of complex sample survey data in these other major software systems.
