P|E|A|S (Practical Exemplars and Survey
Analysis), supported by the ESRC Research Methods
programme, aims to show social researchers
*how to analyze complex
surveys using different packages, *why this is important by looking
at the theory behind the methods and *what are the practical
consequences for real examples *how to make allowance for survey
non-response using weighting or
imputation
Where should you start ?
exemplars
If you like to learn by example, go to one of the
exemplars and compare how different methods work for
it. You will be linked to the relevant sections of
theory as you need it. To decide which exemplars are
for you go to the exemplar
summary page.
theory
To get an overview of the underlying theory you
could work through these
sections.
software
If you just want to know about survey software go
to the section on information
on statistical packages and the routines
they provide for survey analysis.
surveys
Most of the surveys featured in P|E|A|S are based
on data from Scotland. This
page links you to them.
