Methods Seminar: Intro to Complex Survey Designs: Incorporating Clustering, Stratification, and Weighting into Your Analyses

Are you interested in learning how to use publicly available datasets but aren’t sure where to start? Publicly available data, or secondary data, is becoming increasingly accessible via online repositories that are often free to use. But the complex nature of these data sources, such as cluster sampling, stratification, and weighting may intimidate first time users.
