Hi all, I typically need to analyze data from large scale surveys obtained under complex sampling designs and where sampling weights are provided. I suspect that weights can be handled for some, but not all, packages. Can someone point me to information about which packages can incorporate sampling weights? Thanks in advance, David -- ======================================================================David Kaplan, Ph.D. Professor Department of Educational Psychology University of Wisconsin - Madison Educational Sciences, Room, 1061 1025 W.

A feature list (as well as a wide assortment of package documentation) can be found at http://faculty.washington.edu/tlumley/survey/ The package itself can be installed from CRAN install.packages("survey") Kind regards, Tobias Verbeke
This looks fantastic. Thanks!
