SHORT COURSE: Survey Data Analysis I
Presented by Christos Korovessis (SCPR)
and Nyovani Madise (University of Southampton)
Dates: 6-8 January 1999
Venue: University of Southampton
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The objectives of the course are
a) to enable participants to develop an understanding of the basic
principles of the statistical analysis of survey data,
and
b) to enable participants to employ appropriate methods of presenting
data in research reports and papers.
The course content will include descriptive statistics, hypothesis
testing for differences in means and proportions, one-way analysis
of variance, and basic contingency table analysis.
The course will include workshop sessions so that participants can
work through practical exercises, and computer practicals using SPSS
for Windows.
Target Audience:
The course is aimed at researchers who need to perform basic analyses
on data from sample surveys, especially those in the social, economic,
educational and medical sciences. Participants should have a basic
familiarity with statistical concepts through a previous introductory
course or equivalent experience. This "refresher" course provides a
good background to the Survey Data Analysis II course which runs from
27-29 January 1999.

Participants will receive written course notes, copies of overhead
transparencies and a reading list.
