Description and Table of Contents

Description

Sample surveys form the most widely used method of collecting quantitative social data and offer extensive opportunities for analyzing social phenomena. However, the direct application of standard methods of statistical analysis, devised historically within different traditions of data collection such as experimentation, may be inappropriate and misleading. This volume discusses appropriate principles and methods for the analysis of surveys, such as stratified multi-stage sampling, as well as the complex structure of the populations upon which these designs are based. It thus provides a complement to standard books on methods of statistical analysis, such as contingency table analysis, regression analysis or multivariate analysis for researchers who wish to apply these methods to survey data. The volume will be of interest to statisticians, government, social and market researchers, sociologists, economists, epidemiologists, political scientists, educationalists and graduate students.
