SCOPEThe National Program on Complex
Data Structures, the Centre de recherches mathématiques (CRM) and
Statistics Canada are pleased to announce the organization of this workshop.
Survey data, both cross-sectional
and longitudinal, now being collected by government, health and social
science organizations have increasingly complex structures. Many recent
surveys done by Statistics Canada involve longitudinal data collection.
The data from both cross-sectional and longitudinal surveys are becoming
increasingly available across Canada through the recently created Statistics
Canada Research Data Centres. Statistics Canada has identified a pressing
need for new methodologies in view of their on-going data collection efforts
in these complex surveys. The workshop will be devoted to the discussion
of newly emerging methodologies for the analysis of complex surveys. It
is also intended that the workshop will bring together academics who have
both methodological and subject matter research interests in complex survey
data, and researchers from Statistics Canada who have either a research
interest in, or are ?at the front line? working with, these data on a
daily basis. Some of the themes that will be pursued include: (1a) variance
estimation for complex without replacement sampling designs; (2) modeling
of correlated duration data from longitudinal surveys; (3) multi-level
modeling of survey data; and (4) item response theory for surveys. Graduate
students are encouraged to attend.Tentative participants include: David
Binder (StatCan), Jiahua Chen (Waterloo), Michael Escobar (Toronto), Mike
Hidiroglou (StatCan), Milorad Kovacevic (StatCan), Jerry Lawless (Waterloo),
Wendy Lou (Toronto), Jon Rao (Carleton), Nancy Reid (Toronto), Georgia
Roberts (StatCan), Jamie Stafford (Toronto), Randy Sitter (Simon Fraser),
Brajendra Sutradhar (Memorial), Roland Thomas (Carleton), Mary Thompson
(Waterloo) and Changbao Wu (Waterloo). |
