Forthcoming events Working with survey files: linking, matching and using hierarchy Tuesday 30 October 2007 Humanities Bridgeford Street Building, University of Manchester This is a data manipulation workshop, designed for users of the government surveys which allow for analyses at different levels (for example, household and individual) or which have a complex structure (where the data is held in a number of separate linkable datasets or ‘tables’). It will provide participants with an opportunity to hear about and discuss issues relating to data manipulation with such datasets, as well as hands-on experience.
