Incorporating survey weights into modelling: the state of the art

Tuesday 27th November 2012

The LSE Social Statistics group are organising a one day workshop entitled "Incorporating survey weights into modelling: the state of the art". Researchers using statistical modelling in the analysis of survey data in social and medical research are often unsure how to make use of survey weights. In recent years a number of new methods have been proposed for incorporating survey weights into statistical models. This one day workshop looks at novel approaches to this problem in the context of small area estimation, multiple imputation and evidence synthesis. The talks will focus on how to apply these methods with real examples. The workshop will take place at the London School of Economics and Political Science, (location to be confirmed) between 10:30-4 on Tuesday 27th of November. Attendance is free of charge but registration is essential. Please email Sara Geneletti to register. Further details and abstracts can be found on the LSE statistics website
