Course Description<\/h3>\n

This course prepares students to plan and implement surveys and analyze data from complex national and international surveys.
This course is under review for UF\u2019s Enable-AI course designation<\/a>. An AI-enabled course supports AI through related knowledge and skill development, such as programming or statistics. The AI course content for this designation is 10-49%.<\/p>\n

Student Learning Objectives:<\/h3>\n

1. Create a plan for survey development, pre-testing, and implementation
2. Write and format surveys for online, mail, group, and mixed-model administration.
3. Implement a survey to maximize response rates
4. Calculate sampling, non-response, and post-stratification weights
5. Identify and use survey weights from national and international surveys
6. Handle missing data in surveys appropriately
7. Estimate and interpret regression models with complex weights
8. Obtain correct standard errors for regression coefficients, adjusting for clustering and strata effects
9. Fit and interpret fixed effects and random effects regression models
10. Evaluate the sensitivity of regression results to missing data assumptions and omitted confounders<\/p>\n

Pre-requisite:<\/h3>\n

The pre-requisite for this class is EDF6403, or EDF6402, or EDF7405<\/p>\n
