Tying it all together!

Now let's look at a new example to practice what we learned this chapter! Let's ask "Does homeownership vary by education level?" To answer this question, I want you to create a contingency table, visualize differences with a segmented bar graph, and then run a chi square test.

Our exploration of survey data will begin with survey weights. In this chapter, we will learn what survey weights are and why they are so important in survey data analysis. Another unique feature of survey data are how they were collected via clustering and stratification. We'll practice specifying and exploring these sampling features for several survey datasets.

Exercise 1: What are survey weights?Exercise 2: Survey weights Exercise 3: Visualizing the weights Exercise 4: Specifying elements of the design in R Exercise 5: Designs in R Exercise 6: Stratified designs in R Exercise 7: Cluster designs in R Exercise 8: Comparing survey weights of different designs Exercise 9: Visualizing the impact of survey weights Exercise 10: NHANES weights Exercise 11: Tying it all together!

Now that we have a handle of survey weights, we will practice incorporating those weights into our analysis of categorical data in this chapter. We'll conduct descriptive inference by calculating summary statistics, building summary tables, and constructing bar graphs. For analytic inference, we will learn to run chi-squared tests.

Of course not all survey data are categorical and so in this chapter, we will explore analyzing quantitative survey data. We will learn to compute survey-weighted statistics, such as the mean and quantiles. For data visualization, we'll construct bar-graphs, histograms and density plots. We will close out the chapter by conducting analytic inference with survey-weighted t-tests.

To model survey data also requires careful consideration of how the data were collected. We will start our modeling chapter by learning how to incorporate survey weights into scatter plots through aesthetics such as size, color, and transparency. We'll model the survey data with linear regression and will explore how to incorporate categorical predictors and polynomial terms into our models.
