What is secondary data?
• Data collected by a person or
organization other than the users
of the data
Survey Research Laboratory

Advantages of Secondary Data
• Unobtrusive
• Fast & inexpensive
• Avoid data collection problems
• Provide bases for comparison
Survey Research Laboratory

Disadvantages of Secondary Data
• Data availability
• Level of observation
• Quality of documentation
• Data quality control
• Outdated data

Types of Survey Sample Design
• Simple Random Sampling
• Systematic Sampling
• Complex sample designs
▪ stratified designs
▪ cluster designs
▪ mixed mode designs

Types of Survey Sample Design
• Simple Random Sampling
 Each member of the population has an equal
and known chance of being selected
 Simple Random Sample With Replacement
(SRSWR)
 Simple Random Sample Without
Replacement (SRSWOR)

Types of Survey Sample Design
• Systematic Random Sampling
 the selection of every kth element from a
sampling frame with the sampling interval k
(=N/n).
Survey Research Laboratory

Types of Survey Sample Design
• Stratified sample
 The population is first divided into nonoverlapping subpopulations: strata such as
gender, race or SES.
 Sample from each stratum.
 Proportionate vs. disproportionate
 Works most effectively when the variance of
the dependent variable is smaller within the
stratum than in the sample as a whole.

Types of Survey Sample Design
• Cluster sample
 Elements are selected in groups or clusters
 PSU: Primary Sampling Unit. This is the first
unit that is sampled in the design. For
example, school districts from Chicago may
be sampled and then schools within districts
may be sampled.
 Homogeneity within cluster: Intracluster
correlation (ICC)

Why complex survey design?
• Increased efficiency
• Decreased costs
• Sometimes the only option
available
Survey Research Laboratory
17 of 27
Complex Survey Design
• Complex designs with clustering
and unequal selection
probabilities generally increase
the sampling variance.
• Not accounting for the impact of
complex sample design can lead
to Type I error.

Sample Weights
• “pweight” or selection weight: Used
to adjust for differing probabilities of
selection (=N/n).
• In theory, simple random samples
are self-weighted
• In practice, simple random samples
are likely to also require
adjustments for non-response
Survey Research Laboratory

Types of Sample Weights
Post-stratification weights:
• Typically used to adjust for minor differences in
nonresponse by demographic subgroup.
• Bring the sample proportions in demographic
subgroups into agreement with the population
proportion in the subgroups.
• Requires auxiliary dataset to use as a comparison.
• Not a fix for bad sample design

Types of Sample Weights (cont.)
Non-response weights:
• Designed to inflate the weights of
survey respondents to compensate for
nonrespondents with similar
characteristics.
• Only useful if nonresponse varies by
stratum (unless inflating sample size to
population size).

Types of Sample Weights (cont.)
“Blow-up” (expansion) weights:
• Weights sum to population total
• Provide estimates for the total
population of interest
Survey Research Laboratory
23 of 27
Types of Sample Weights (cont.)
Replicate weights:
• A series of weight variables that are
used instead of PSUs and strata in an
effort to protect the respondents'
identity. Pweight and the replicate
weights must be used for the correct
calculation of the point estimate and its
standard error.
