SOFTWARE FOR ANALYSING DATA FROM COMPLEX DENTAL SURVEYS

开发了一个数据分析软件包(SUDAAN)，它是 适用于复杂抽样调查分析的是一个正在进行的 国家卫生统计中心签约项目 与三角研究院(RTI)合作。Sudaan是一个集合 几个采用最先进技术的高级统计程序 分析方法、泰勒级数或Delta估计法 来自复杂抽样调查设计的数据。来自两个孩子的数据， 成年人和老年人的牙科调查被用来分析测试 并在五个方面对SUDAAN进行评估： (1)适用于复杂调查样本的方法 (2)便携性 (3)可靠性/数值精度 (4)计算效率 (5)易于修改/增强 这些领域的工作正在进行中，主机上的SUDAAN。

The development of a data analysis software package (SUDAAN) that is appropriate for the analysis of complex sample surveys is an ongoing project of the National Center for Health Statistics through a contract with Research Triangle Institute (RTI). SUDAAN is a collection of several high level statistical procedures that employ state-of-the-art methodology, Taylor series or Delta method of estimation for analyzing data from complex sample survey designs. Data from two Children's, Adults and Seniors Dental Surveys are being used to analytically test and evaluate SUDAAN in five areas: (1) appropriate methodology for complex survey samples (2) portability (3) reliability/numerical accuracy (4) computational efficiency (5) ease of modification/enhancement Work is proceeding in these areas with SUDAAN on the mainframe.
