General Features

• Specify up to 8-way tables
• Easily generate all 2-way and 3-way tables
• Analyze data sets with multiple imputations

Generated Statistics

• Estimates
• Standard errors
• Coefficients of variation
• Confidence intervals
• Wilson method for confidence intervals on extreme proportions
• Unweighted sample size in each table cell
• Design effect for estimate
• Effective sample size
• t statistic for test that estimate is zero, associated p values
• Labels for function statistics
• Standardized rates

Computed Statistics

• A statistic that is a function of one or more survey variables or of statistics derived from a survey (e.g., RATIO=INCOME/ASSET). Examples are the ratio of two means, the log-odds in a 2-way table, and the difference in two ratios.
• Operations that can be used to combine statistics: + , -, x, /, (), =
• Log (base e, 2, and 10)
• Exp
• Sqrt
• Mean
• Median
• ONE - sum of weights
• Quantile
• Geomean - geometric mean
• Abs - absolute value
• Block mean - mean for list of variables
• PV - plausible values for education assessment tests or for multiple imputation analysis

Tests of Independence

• Pearson's chi-square
• RS2 - Rao-Scott statistic using a design effect adjustment to the Pearson chi-square
• RS3 - Rao-Scott statistic based on Satterthwaite approximation

Options for Tables

• Set alpha for confidence intervals
• Set finite population correction factor for variance estimates
• Set degrees of freedom for estimated variances
• Choose method for handling missing values
  • Listwise deletion (complete case analysis)
  • Separate treatment of each analysis variable and computed statistic(available case analysis)
• Control method for computing medians or quantiles
  • Group method
  • No group method (default)
  • Compute direct replicate estimates of standard errors
• Print diagnostic to measure whether replicate contributes heavily to variance estimate

Function Statistics

• A statistic that is a function of the estimated quantities for table cells (up to 4-way tables)
• Define and name table cells
• Define cell functions using +, -, x, /, **

Output for Tables

• Requested statistics for all cells and marginals of table
• Estimates and standard errors
• Statistic type
• Sum of weights
• Computed statistics
• Functions of table cell estimates
• Percentage of total
• Row percentages
• Column percentages
• Labels for variables and values
• Fixed decimal or scientific notation, with ability to control number of decimal places
• Replicate estimates saved in auxiliary output file

Table Viewer

• A stand-alone Table Viewer program is available on this website. This viewer program will allow users to view the output of a Table Request in a tabular format and to copy the data into Microsoft Excel or other programs.
