Quantitative Analysis I
PBAF 527 — Winter 2005
Washington Population Survey Information
The data for the first homework and the policy report come from the 2004 Washington State Population Survey. It is a survey of the WA population similar to the national census. The original data set has 7,050 households containing 17,970 people (observations). This includes over-samples of households headed by African American, Asian, Hispanic, and Native American respondents. (When trying to make population estimates, weights can be applied to account for both oversampling and regional stratified sampling)
For information an explanation of the structure and purpose of the study, read the Technical
Report (20 KB PDF). Use the Data
Dictionary (95 KB PDF) to choose the variables you want to work with.
SPSS versions of the data set are available
on the Evans School server in the folder \\Evanshost\CLASSES\PBAF 527- Stats\Data
Sets. There is a a zipped version to make transport easier.
I've also put it here until 1/20/05
for easy access. It is a 6.2 MB file in SPSS format.
