Complex Survey Data Analysis with SAS

"This book is very well written and includes a wealth of theoretical and practical information. It hits the mark on the explanation of concepts and statistics in that it is readable without being too simple or advanced. It will be an excellent resource, especially for SAS users."
―Patricia Berglund, Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan

"Building from simple motivating examples to real-world data sets and analyses, this book clearly demonstrates SAS's suite of survey analysis commands. Lewis explains why special commands are needed when working with survey data, how to run the code in SAS, and how to interpret the output. This book will be useful to many, in particular to researchers who have a basic knowledge of SAS and statistics but are new to analysis of survey data."

"This book is an outstanding, practical handbook presenting thorough examples of the use of specialized procedures in the SAS/STAT software for dealing with all aspects of complex samples, from sample design and selection to the analysis of complex sample survey data. Applied statisticians, survey researchers, and analysts of survey data collected from large, complex samples in applied fields, such as epidemiology and public health, will find this book to be a tremendous and essential resource on the use of SAS for managing and analyzing these types of data sets…Overall, I would highly recommend this excellent new resource for any researchers selecting complex samples and analyzing complex sample survey data using the SAS system."
