This workshop provides a comparative overview of data weighting methods used in secondary data analysis. Designed for researchers with basic statistical knowledge, the workshop examines how SPSS, Stata, and R each address different weighting needs, from probability and frequency weights in SPSS, to multi-stage and replicate weight designs in Stata, to custom weighting schemes in R. Topics include key secondary data sources, weight structures, and a platform decision framework. Real-world datasets such as NHANES, BRFSS, and NCES will be used throughout.

This is a researcher focused workshop.
