This course covers how to use Stata for survey data analysis assuming a fixed population. It begins by reviewing the sampling methods used to collect survey data, and then discusses how they act in the estimation of totals, ratios, and regression coefficients. It then covers variance estimation methods implemented in Stata’s survey estimation commands. The course will also cover strata with a single sampling unit, certainty sampling units, subpopulation estimation, and poststratification. Interactive Stata sessions are dispersed between lectures.

Attendees of this course will walk away with the following knowledge:
The difference between Stata's standard estimation commands and svy estimation commands
How to create SRS and stratified samples from available lists
How to use Stata's svyset command to identify the survey characteristics present in the dataset. These characteristics include:

Enrollment is limited. This course is offered in both classroom and web-based settings.
Classroom training courses are two-day courses that run from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day. These courses take place at a training center where computers with Stata installed are provided. A continental breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack will also be provided; the breakfast is available before the course begins.
Web-based training courses are four-day courses that run for three to four hours daily with hourly breaks. You will be provided with a temporary Stata license to install on your computer, a printed copy of the course notes, and all the course datasets so that you can easily follow along.
