Paradata in Survey Research — Continuing Education Course
ASA , Section on Survey Research Methods
Instructor(s): Frauke Kreuter, Joint Program in Survey Methodology
Survey data are increasingly collected through computer assisted modes. As a result, a new class of data - called paradata - is now available to survey methodologists. Typical examples are key-stroke files, capturing the navigation through the questionnaire, and time stamps, providing information such as date and time of each call attempt or the length of a question-answer sequence. Other examples are interviewer observations about a sampled household or neighborhood, recordings of vocal properties of the interviewer and respondent, information about interviewers and interviewing strategies. While the type of available paradata varies by mode, all share one feature--they are a by-product of the data collection process capturing information about that process. This course covers the great potential of paradata for social survey research. The course will give an introduction and overview of methodological issues involved in the collection and analysis of paradata. Research examples will be discussed, including but not limited to the use of paradata to monitor fieldwork activity, guide intervention decisions (e.g. through responsive design), and to address various total survey error components. Cases-studies will draw attention to the challenges in automated data capturing and modeling of the complex structure of paradata.

SAS Procedures for Analyzing Survey Data — Continuing Education CTW
ASA , SAS , Section on Survey Research Methods
Instructor(s): Pushpal K Mukhopadhyay, SAS Institute
The analysis of probability-based sample surveys requires specialized techniques that account for survey design elements, such as strata, clusters, and unequal weights. This workshop provides an overview of the basic functionality of the SAS/STAT® procedures that are developed specifically for selecting and analyzing probability samples for survey data. You will learn how to select probability samples with the SURVEYSELECT procedure, how to produce descriptive statistics with the SURVEYMEANS and SURVEYFREQ procedures, and how to build statistical models with the SURVEYREG, SURVEYLOGISTIC, and SURVEYPHREG procedures. Characteristics of different variance estimation techniques, including both Taylor series and replication methods, and domain (subpopulation) estimation techniques will also be discussed. The workshop is intended for a broad audience of statisticians who are interested in analyzing sample survey data. Familiarity with basic statistics, including regression analysis, is strongly recommended.
