Westat can provide training for the WesVar software to give WesVar users the information they need to produce survey weights and analyze data collected from complex samples.  Training can include a series of lessons that present some of the statistical theory for survey weighting and estimation as well as practical applications of the procedures available in WesVar, including weighting adjustments, replication, tables, regression, and descriptive statistics.

Westat has several trainers with years of experience in survey statistics and in teaching WesVar to academic, government, and commercial clients in the U.S. and around the world.  Training combines lecture and demonstration with practical, hands-on exercises that students can work through at their own pace.

Training can be held at Westat’s training facility or at another location for interested clients.  Training material can also be modified to suit an individual organization’s needs.  If you are interested in WesVar training, either at Westat or another location, contact us for information.
