"...shows high levels of sound judgement and good advice." (Biometrics, June 2000) "...provides a great service to the health research community by tying together...tools of modern statistical analysis and survey research...." (JASA, March 2001) "If you are involved in analyzing data from large surveys, then you will want to buy this book." (Technometrics, Vol. 42, No. 4, May 2001) "...provides a great service to the health research community by tying together...tools of modern statistical analysis and survey research...." (Journal of the American Statistical Association), The book fulfills the authors' purpose of providing neededexpertise for statisticians who are limited in their knowledge ofsurvey research. There are excellent questions at the end of eachchapter so it would make a good textbook for a course in surveyanalysis. (Journal of Official Statistics, Vol. 16, 2000) A strength of this book is the exercises at the ends of eachchapter [...]. This makes the book ideal either for independentstudy or for a survey methods course at final year undergraduate orpostgraduate level. Since the book is based on the two authors'many years of experience working in this field, it shows highlevels of sound judgement and good advice. (Biometrics, 2000) The analytic components of books about survey sampling oftenrestrict their discussion to the analysis of relatively simpleparameters of interest, such as population means and linearregression slopes. On the other hand, texts not devoted to surveysampling rarely discuss in detail the effect of complex sampledesigns on data analysis. This book provides a great service to thehealth research community by tying together the tools of modernstatistical analysis and survey research in one package. Korn andGraubard write clearly and concisely, using well-chosen examples toilluminate potentially confusing concepts. (JASA, March 2001) If you are involved in analyzing data from very large surveys, thenyou will want to buy this book. Statisticians who enjoy expandingtheir horizons in statistics by reading practical and usefulstatistics books should also get a copy of the book. More and moreof this health-survey data becomes available all the time, soperhaps data analysis no longer needed in industry can find a newhome somewhere analyzing health-survey data.

Synopsis
How to apply statistical methods to survey data--a guide toeffective analysis of health surveys. With large health surveys becoming increasingly available forpublic use, researchers with little experience in survey methodsare often faced with analyzing data from surveys to addressscientific and programmatic questions. This practical book providesstatistical techniques for use in survey analysis, making healthsurveys accessible to statisticians, biostatisticians, epidemiologists, and health researchers. The authors clearlyexplain the theory and methods of survey analysis along withreal-world applications. They draw on their work at the NationalInstitutes of Health as well as up-to-date information from acrossthe literature to present: * The sampling background necessary to understand health surveys. * The application of such techniques as t-tests, linear regression, logistic regression, and survival analysis to survey data. * The use of sample weights in survey data analysis. * Dealing with complications in variance estimation in large healthsurveys. * Applications involving cross-sectional, longitudinal, andmultiple cross-sectional surveys, and the use of surveys to performpopulation- based case-control analyses. * Guidance on the correct use of statistical methods found insoftware packages. * Extensive bibliography., How to apply statistical methods to survey data--a guide toeffective analysis of health surveys.

    Unfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

    Arrived on time. Packaging was lacking, product damaged in two places during shipping due to inadequate padding within the packaging. I can live with it seeing as I don't want to hunt down and pay for another copy... Item was as described minus the damage to the spine of the book in one place from the thin plastic wrapping not providing any rigidity or padding. This is the first time I have encountered this problem with this Fantastic seller. Excellent value. Thank you
