The program can be used to construct estimates and standard errors for totals, means, quantiles, ratios, the difference of ratios, and the entries in two-way tables. Weighted regression equations can also be estimated. The software is designed for multistage stratified samples, and finitecorrection terms can be introduced at two stages." | |

| The Certificate in Public Opinion and Survey Research Program, University of Cincinnati | Software for the Statistical Analysis of Correlated Data (SUDAAN) "is specifically designed to analyze data from complex sample surveys. Multiple design options allow users to analyze data from most of the commonly used stratified, multistage sample designs. Sample members may have been selected with unequal probabilities, and either with or without replacement." | |

Summary of Survey Analysis Software
"This page is a summary of available software for the analysis of surveys with complex sample designs. Specifically, it includes software that can do variance estimation with such survey data. It does not attempt coverage of the many excellent packages which do not have the particular features required to analyse such data. Information can be viewed by package or comparatively by topic." |
|
| WesVar "is a software package developed at Westat that computes estimates and replicate variance estimates from survey data collected using complex sampling and estimation procedures." | ||
| Sampling | Focus Groups | |
| Calculating Response Rates - AAPOR's Standard Definitions: Final Dispositions of Case Codes and Outcome Rates for Surveys (2000); AAPOR Outcome Rate Calculator Version 2.0 to automatically calculate Standard Definitions Outcome Rates (2002). | ||
| A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates was published by Rand in 1955. This online version of the book allows visitors to access the complete tables of random digits and normal deviates or view a sample page of each. | ||
| Research Randomizer is a free service which "uses a Javascript random number generator to produce customized sets of random numbers." | ||
| Sample Size for Surveys is one "lecture" part of Supercourse, which "is designed to provide an overview on epidemiology and the Internet for medical and health related students around the world." | ||
| SampleXS "is a sample size calculator for cross-sectional surveys using simple random, systematic, or complex samples." | ||
| Sampling chapter from the Research Methods Knowledge Base, a Web-based textbook that addresses social research methods topics. | ||
