Building on the wealth of material on practical approaches to descriptive analysis and regression modeling from the first edition, this second edition expands the topics covered and presents more step-by-step examples of modern approaches to the analysis of survey data using the newest statistical software. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for readers working in a wide array of disciplines who use survey data in their work, this book continues to provide a useful framework for integrating more in-depth studies of the theory and methods of survey data analysis. An example-driven guide to the applied statistical analysis and interpretation of survey data, the second edition contains many new examples and practical exercises based on recent versions of real-world survey data sets. Although the authors continue to use Stata for most examples in the text, they also continue to offer SAS, SPSS, SUDAAN, R, WesVar, IVEware, and Mplus software code for replicating the examples on the book's updated website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Anyone analyzing survey data, even once, should have a copy of this book. The book has something for everyone. It is a solid, yet accessible introduction to analyzing data from complex sample surveys (i.e., those with stratification and clustering), a statistical text of the highest caliber, and a reference for experienced analysts and statisticians. The authors are masterful instructors on the topic, and leaders in the field of survey methodology at the University of Michigan's world-renowned Institute for Social Research and Survey Research Center. Their profound understanding of the topic, and talent for describing it shines through vividly in the text. One of my favorite parts remains section 1.2 \"A Brief History of Applied Survey Data Analysis\", which is split into \"Key Theoretical Developments\" and \"Key Software Developments\". The historical context provided in those sections helps motivate the technical material that follows. My other favorite parts of this book are the presentations of analysis code and output from various programs, and their \"Theory Boxes\", which tie specific analysis steps and code to the statistical theory behind them. Among the numerous updates to this edition, I think readers will find the new content on model diagnostics and testing goodness-of-fit (GOF) to be extremely helpful, as this is an area of complex sample survey analysis that can be difficult to translate from standard regression analysis. Throughout, the authors make it a point to describe analyses in discrete steps that can help direct even the most complex analyses.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003eMatt Jans\u003c\/b\u003e, Senior Associate\/Scientist, Abt Associates \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This is an excellent book to use for a graduate level applied statistics course teaching public health students how to analyze complex survey data.
