Analysing complex survey data: clustering, stratification and weights
Analysing complex survey data: clustering, stratification and weights

• This results in biased estimates of standard errors and increased likelihood of Type I errors.

• A substantive example is used to illustrate the problem and appropriate software applications are briefly reviewed.
