Goal:

This course will enable students to understand the principles and methods of survey data analysis.  It is designed as an extension of the Survey Design course (EPSY 5244).  Students will engage in survey data analysis exercises, use real data from several large survey programs, and review current literature on survey data analysis.

 

Students will be able to:

  • Understand the unique characteristics of survey data;
  • Analyze ordinal and nominal data in appropriate ways, including multivariate techniques;
  • Produce appropriate graphical displays of survey data;
  • Interpret results from survey data analyses appropriately;
  • Develop reasonable and useful analysis plans for future survey projects;
  • Identify appropriate and inappropriate uses and interpretations of survey data analysis results.
