BSTT 604* :ANALYSIS OF COMPLEX SURVEY DATA

The course covers sample size determination, and the sampling methods used to collect survey data and how they affect the estimation of totals, ratios, and regression coefficients as well as many survey variance estimators, including linearization, balanced and repeated replication (BRR), and jackknife. Strata with a single sampling unit, certainty sampling units, subpopulation estimation, and post stratification will also be covered. Teaching consists mostly of lectures followed by computer practical sessions.  Students will be assessed by analysing population-based surveys including Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS).
