Advanced seminar
From Question to Answer: Analysing Survey Data with R
Alexander Pries
Comments
This seminar provides an applied introduction to key topics in the analysis of survey data. Theoretically, students are introduced to sampling techniques and the design of survey instruments, with a focus on how these shape survey data analysis. Key questions include: What are the different types of survey questions, and when should we use them? Consequently, how do we handle survey weights, missing values, and different response types in the analysis?
We will examine examples from contemporary political sociology and draw on data from large-scale representative surveys in Europe. In the applied sections, the course introduces essential packages and tools for analyzing survey data using the statistical software R and RStudio. It guides students through the main steps involved in the early stages of survey data analysis. By the end of the seminar, students will have a basic understanding of the key considerations in analyzing survey data and developing survey questions, as well as a foundational toolkit for conducting applied survey data analysis in R and RStudio. close
