This workshop covers the fundamentals of statistical analysis using complex survey data, blending theoretical foundations with practical examples. It emphasizes the importance of a solid inferential framework when making inferences about a conceptual or finite population, focusing on model-based and design-based approaches. Choosing the appropriate framework may not be straightforward, and this workshop will clarify the contexts in which each approach is applicable. Additionally, the workshop will demonstrate how to adapt classical data analysis methods to survey data using the design-based approach. Key topics include the estimation of regression model parameters, means and proportions, variance estimation, estimation for domains of interest, confidence intervals, and comparisons between groups.
