We compiled macroinvertebrate assemblage data collected from 1995 to 2014 from the St. Louis River Area of Concern (AOC) of western Lake Superior. Our objective was to define depth-adjusted cutoff values for benthos condition classes (poor, fair, reference) to provide tool useful for assessing progress toward achieving removal targets for the degraded benthos beneficial use impairment in the AOC. The relationship between depth and benthos metrics was wedge-shaped. We therefore used quantile regression to model the limiting effect of depth on selected benthos metrics, including taxa richness, percent non-oligochaete individuals, combined percent Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera, and Odonata individuals, and density of ephemerid mayfly nymphs (Hexagenia). We created a scaled trimetric index from the first three metrics. Metric values at or above the 90th percentile quantile regression model prediction were defined as reference condition for that depth. We set the cutoff between poor and fair condition as the 50th percentile model prediction. We examined sampler type, exposure, geographic zone of the AOC, and substrate type for confounding effects. Based on these analyses we combined data across sampler type and exposure classes and created separate models for each geographic zone. We used the resulting condition class cutoff values to assess the relative benthic condition for three habitat restoration project areas. The depth-limited pattern of ephemerid abundance we observed in the St. Louis River AOC also occurred elsewhere in the Great Lakes. We provide tabulated model predictions for application of our depth-adjusted condition class cutoff values to new sample data. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Angradi, T., W. Bartsch, A. Trebitz, V. Brady, and J. Launspach.

analyze the current population survey (cps) annual social and economic supplement (asec) with r the annual march cps-asec has been supplying the statistics for the census bureau's report on income, poverty, and health insurance coverage since 1948. wow. the us census bureau and the bureau of labor statistics ( bls) tag-team on this one. until the american community survey (acs) hit the scene in the early aughts (2000s), the current population survey had the largest sample size of all the annual general demographic data sets outside of the decennial census - about two hundred thousand respondents. this provides enough sample to conduct state- and a few large metro area-level analyses. your sample size will vanish if you start investigating subgroups b y state - consider pooling multiple years. county-level is a no-no. despite the american community survey's larger size, the cps-asec contains many more variables related to employment, sources of income, and insurance - and can be trended back to harry truman's presidency. aside from questions specifically asked about an annual experience (like income), many of the questions in this march data set should be t reated as point-in-time statistics. cps-asec generalizes to the united states non-institutional, non-active duty military population. the national bureau of economic research (nber) provides sas, spss, and stata importation scripts to create a rectangular file (rectangular data means only person-level records; household- and family-level information gets attached to each person). to import these files into r, the parse.SAScii function uses nber's sas code to determine how to import the fixed-width file, then RSQLite to put everything into a schnazzy database. you can try reading through the nber march 2012 sas importation code yourself, but it's a bit of a proc freak show. this new github repository contains three scripts: 2005-2012 asec - download all microdata.R down load the fixed-width file containing household, family, and person records import by separating this file into three tables, then merge 'em together at the person-level download the fixed-width file containing the person-level replicate weights merge the rectangular person-level file with the replicate weights, then store it in a sql database create a new variable - one - in the data table 2012 asec - analysis examples.R connect to the sql database created by the 'download all microdata' progr am create the complex sample survey object, using the replicate weights perform a boatload of analysis examples replicate census estimates - 2011.R connect to the sql database created by the 'download all microdata' program create the complex sample survey object, using the replicate weights match the sas output shown in the png file below 2011 asec replicate weight sas output.png statistic and standard error generated from the replicate-weighted example sas script contained in this census-provided person replicate weights usage instructions document. click here to view these three scripts for more detail about the current population survey - annual social and economic supplement (cps-asec), visit: the census bureau's current population survey page the bureau of labor statistics' current population survey page the current population survey's wikipedia article notes: interviews are conducted in march about experiences during the previous year. the file labeled 2012 includes information (income, work experience, health insurance) pertaining to 2011. when you use the current populat ion survey to talk about america, subract a year from the data file name. as of the 2010 file (the interview focusing on america during 2009), the cps-asec contains exciting new medical out-of-pocket spending variables most useful for supplemental (medical spending-adjusted) poverty research. confidential to sas, spss, stata, sudaan users: why are you still rubbing two sticks together after we've invented the butane lighter? time to transition to r. :D

Description -- TABLE: Please see in attached file. --

The simulated synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) data presented here was generated using PoSSM [Johnson and Brown 2018]. The data is suitable for bistatic, coherent signal processing and will form acoustic seafloor imagery. Included in this data package is simulated sonar data in Generic Data Format (GDF) files, a description of the GDF file contents, example SAS imagery, and supporting information about the simulated scenes. In total, there are eleven 60 m x 90 m scenes, labeled scene00 through scene10, with scene00 provided with the scatterers in isolation, i.e. no seafloor texture. This is provided for beamformer testing purposes and should result in an image similar to the one labeled "PoSSM-scene00-scene00-starboard-0.tif" in the Related Data Sets tab. The ten other scenes have varying degrees of model variation as described in "Description_of_Simulated_SAS_Data_Package.pdf". A description of the data and the model is found in the associated document called "Description_of_Simulated_SAS_Data_Package.pdf" and a description of the format in which the raw binary data is stored is found in the related document "PSU_GDF_Format_20240612.pdf". The format description also includes MATLAB code that will effectively parse the data to aid in signal processing and image reconstruction. It is left to the researcher to develop a beamforming algorithm suitable for coherent signal and image processing. Each 60 m x 90 m scene is represented by 4 raw (not beamformed) GDF files, labeled sceneXX-STARBOARD-000000 through 000003. It is possible to beamform smaller scenes from any one of these 4 files, i.e. the four files are combined sequentially to form a 60 m x 90 m image. Also included are comma separated value spreadsheets describing the locations of scatterers and objects of interest within each scene. In addition to the binary GDF data, a beamformed GeoTIFF image and a single-look complex (SLC, science file) data of each scene is provided. The SLC data (science) is stored in the Hierarchical Data Format 5 (https://www.hdfgroup.org/), and appended with ".hdf5" to indicate the HDF5 format. The data are stored as 32-bit real and 32-bit complex values. A viewer is available that provides basic graphing, image display, and directory navigation functions (https://www.hdfgroup.org/downloads/hdfview/). The HDF file contains all the information necessary to reconstruct a synthetic aperture sonar image. All major and contemporary programming languages have library support for encoding/decoding the HDF5 format. Supporting documentation that outlines positions of the seafloor scatterers is included in "Scatterer_Locations_Scene00.csv", while the locations of the objects of interest for scene01-scene10 are included in "Object_Locations_All_Scenes.csv". Portable Network Graphic (PNG) images that plot the location of objects of all the objects of interest in each scene in Along-Track and Cross-Track notation are provided.

This formatted dataset (AnalysisDatabaseGBD) originates from raw data files from the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD2017) affiliated with the University of Washington. We are volunteer collaborators with IHME and not employed by IHME or the University of Washington.

The population weighted GBD2017 data are on male and female cohorts ages 15-69 years including noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), body mass index (BMI), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and other health outcomes and associated dietary, metabolic, and other risk factors. The purpose of creating this population-weighted, formatted database is to explore the univariate and multiple regression correlations of health outcomes with risk factors. Our research hypothesis is that we can successfully model NCDs, BMI, CVD, and other health outcomes with their attributable risks.

These Global Burden of disease data relate to the preprint: The EAT-Lancet Commission Planetary Health Diet compared with Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation Global Burden of Disease Ecological Data Analysis. The data include the following: 1. Analysis database of population weighted GBD2017 data that includes over 40 health risk factors, noncommunicable disease deaths/100k/year of male and female cohorts ages 15-69 years from 195 countries (the primary outcome variable that includes over 100 types of noncommunicable diseases) and over 20 individual noncommunicable diseases (e.g., ischemic heart disease, colon cancer, etc). 2.

It is commonly believed that if a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) is carried out in R, then reported p-values are correct. This article shows that this is not always the case. Results can vary from non-significant to highly significant, depending on the choice of options. The user must know exactly which options result in correct p-values, and which options do not. Furthermore, it is commonly supposed that analyses in SAS and R of simple balanced experiments using mixed-effects models result in correct p-values. However, the simulation study of the current article indicates that frequency of Type I error deviates from the nominal value. The objective of this article is to compare SAS and R with respect to correctness of results when analyzing small experiments. It is concluded that modern functions and procedures for analysis of mixed-effects models are sometimes not as reliable as traditional ANOVA based on simple computations of sums of squares.

Matching is frequently used in observational studies, especially in medical research. However, only a small number of articles with matching programs for the SAS software (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA) are available, even less are usable for inexperienced users of SAS software. This article presents a matching program for the SAS software and links to an online repository for examples and test data. The program enables matching on several variables and includes in-depth explanation of the expressions used and how to customize the program. The selection of controls is randomized and automated, minimizing the risk of selection bias. Also, the program provides means for the researcher to test for incomplete matching.

analyze the survey of consumer finances (scf) with r the survey of consumer finances (scf) tracks the wealth of american families. every three years, more than five thousand households answer a battery of questions about income, net worth, credit card debt, pensions, mortgages, even the lease on their cars. plenty of surveys collect annual income, only the survey of consumer finances captures such detailed asset data. responses are at the primary economic unit-level (peu) - the economically dominant, financially interdependent family members within a sampled household. norc at the university of chicago administers the data collection, but the board of governors of the federal reserve pay the bills and therefore call the shots. if you were so brazen as to open up the microdata and run a simple weighted median, you'd get the wrong answer. the five to six thousand respondents actually gobble up twenty-five to thirty thousand records in the final pub lic use files. why oh why? well, those tables contain not one, not two, but five records for each peu. wherever missing, these data are multiply-imputed, meaning answers to the same question for the same household might vary across implicates. each analysis must account for all that, lest your confidence intervals be too tight. to calculate the correct statistics, you'll need to break the single file into five, necessarily complicating your life. this can be accomplished with the meanit sas macro buried in the 2004 scf codebook (search for meanit - you'll need the sas iml add-on). or you might blow the dust off this website referred to in the 2010 codebook as the home of an alternative multiple imputation technique, but all i found were broken links. perhaps it's time for plan c, and by c, i mean free. read the imputation section of the latest codebook (search for imputation), then give these scripts a whirl. they've got that new r smell. the lion's share of the respondents in the survey of consumer finances get drawn from a pretty standard sample of american dwellings - no nursing homes, no active-duty military. then there's this secondary sample of richer households to even out the statistical noise at the higher end of the i ncome and assets spectrum. you can read more if you like, but at the end of the day the weights just generalize to civilian, non-institutional american households. one last thing before you start your engine: read everything you always wanted to know about the scf. my favorite part of that title is the word always. this new github repository contains t hree scripts: 1989-2010 download all microdata.R initiate a function to download and import any survey of consumer finances zipped stata file (.dta) loop through each year specified by the user (starting at the 1989 re-vamp) to download the main, extract, and replicate weight files, then import each into r break the main file into five implicates (each containing one record per peu) and merge the appropriate extract data onto each implicate save the five implicates and replicate weights to an r data file (.rda) for rapid future loading 2010 analysis examples.R prepare two survey of consumer finances-flavored multiply-imputed survey analysis functions load the r data files (.rda) necessary to create a multiply-imputed, replicate-weighted survey design demonstrate how to access the properties of a multiply-imput ed survey design object cook up some descriptive statistics and export examples, calculated with scf-centric variance quirks run a quick t-test and regression, but only because you asked nicely replicate FRB SAS output.R reproduce each and every statistic pr ovided by the friendly folks at the federal reserve create a multiply-imputed, replicate-weighted survey design object re-reproduce (and yes, i said/meant what i meant/said) each of those statistics, now using the multiply-imputed survey design object to highlight the statistically-theoretically-irrelevant differences click here to view these three scripts for more detail about the survey of consumer finances (scf), visit: the federal reserve board of governors' survey of consumer finances homepage the latest scf chartbook, to browse what's possible.

This SAS code extracts data from EU-SILC User Database (UDB) longitudinal files and edits it such that a file is produced that can be further used for differential mortality analyses. Information from the original D, R, H and P files is merged per person and possibly pooled over several longitudinal data releases. Vital status information is extracted from target variables DB110 and RB110, and time at risk between the first interview and either death or censoring is estimated based on quarterly date information. Apart from path specifications, the SAS code consists of several SAS macros. Two of them require parameter specification from the user. The other ones are just executed. The code was written in Base SAS, Version 9.4. By default, the output file contains several variables which are necessary for differential mortality analyses, such as sex, age, country, year of first interview, and vital status information. In addition, the user may specify the analytical variables by which mortality risk should be compared later, for example educational level or occupational class. These analytical variables may be measured either at the first interview (the baseline) or at the last interview of a respondent. The output file is available in SAS format and by default also in csv format.

The 2008 National Survey of Drinking and Driving Attitudes and Behaviors was composed of a single questionnaire administered to a sample of randomly selected individuals 16 and older, with ages 16 through 24 over-sampled. The respondents were asked about their drinking behavior, their drinking and driving behavior, use of designated drivers, their hosting events in which drinking occurred, risks they perceive associated with drinking and driving, experience with anti-DWI enforcement activity, and their attitudes concerning major intervention strategies.The survey was administered from September 10, 2008 to December 22, 2008. A total of 6,999 respondents completed the survey, including 5,392 landline interviews and 1,607 cell phone interviews. The total number of completed interviews for each of the four Census regions (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West) was 1,409, 1,654, 2,390, and 1,546, respectively.
