- Explores in detail the analysis of complex survey design, including adjustments for cluster sampling, weighting, and stratification.
- Designs that incorporate clustering of data are common in health science research.
- These designs are characterized by data that capture nonindependent repeated measurements on primary sampling units or that collect data with schemes more complex than simple random sampling.
- The statistical analyses of these types of data need to include appropriate adjustments to provide proper estimates and accurate testing.
- The second part of the course investigates the use of mixed regression models to analyze repeated measurements on individuals, multilevel data, and growth models.
