The sample SAS and Stata code provided here is intended for use with certain datasets in the National Neighborhood Data Archive (NaNDA). NaNDA (https://www.openicpsr.org/openicpsr/nanda) contains some datasets that measure neighborhood context at the ZIP Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA) level. They are intended for use with survey or other individual-level data containing ZIP codes. Because ZIP codes do not exactly match ZIP code tabulation areas, a crosswalk is required to use ZIP-code-level geocoded datasets with ZCTA-level datasets from NaNDA. A ZIP-code-to-ZCTA crosswalk was previously available on the UDS Mapper website, which is no longer active. An archived copy of the ZIP-code-to-ZCTA crosswalk file has been included here. Sample SAS and Stata code are provided for merging the UDS mapper crosswalk with NaNDA datasets.

This dataset consists of 1-second merged data from the 19 research flights with the C-130 over the Southeast U.S. between June 1 and July 15, 2013, as part of the Southeast Atmosphere Study (SAS). Merged data files have been created, combining all observations on the C-130 to a common time base for each flight. Version R5 (created Jan 21, 2015) of the merges includes all data available as of Jan 12. For the 1-Second merge all values from individual files are written out for each second. Missing, LLOD, ULOD values for all variables were replaced with standard values (-9999999, -8888888, -7777777).

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.

NIS 2002-2011 Within Year Merge

• Each year of the NIS has a Core, Hospital and Severity file: File Level ID Core discharge KEY, HOSPID Hospital hospital HOSPID Severity discharge KEY, HOSPID

1. The 2 dischrage-level files will trimmed down to desired variables and then merged by KEY and saved into a temporary SAS dataset.
2. The hospital file will be trimmed and then merged into the core-severity and saved into a permanent SAS dataset with following notation: NIS_YYYY
3. Working directory cleared after every year since very large datasets.

analyze the health and retirement study (hrs) with r the hrs is the one and only longitudinal survey of american seniors. with a panel starting its third decade, the current pool of respondents includes older folks who have been interviewed every two years as far back as 1992. unlike cross-sectional or shorter panel surveys, respondents keep responding until, well, death d o us part. paid for by the national institute on aging and administered by the university of michigan's institute for social research, if you apply for an interviewer job with them, i hope you like werther's original. figuring out how to analyze this data set might trigger your fight-or-flight synapses if you just start clicking arou nd on michigan's website. instead, read pages numbered 10-17 (pdf pages 12-19) of this introduction pdf and don't touch the data until you understand figure a-3 on that last page. if you start enjoying yourself, here's the whole book. after that, it's time to register for access to the (free) data. keep your username and password handy, you'll need it for the top of the download automation r script. next, look at this data flowchart to get an idea of why the data download page is such a righteous jungle. but wait, good news: umich recently farmed out its data management to the rand corporation, who promptly constructed a giant consolidated file with one record per respondent across the whole panel. oh so beautiful. the rand hrs files make much of the older data and syntax examples obsolete, so when you come across stuff like instructions on how to merge years, you can happily ignore them - rand has done it for you. the health and retirement study only includes noninstitutionalized adults when new respondents get added to the panel (as they were in 1992, 1993, 1998, 2004, and 2010) but once they're in, they're in - respondents have a weight of zero for interview waves when they were nursing home residents; but they're still responding and will continue to contribute to your statistics so long as you're generalizing about a population from a previous wave (for example: it's possible to compute "among all americans who were 50+ years old in 1998, x% lived in nursing homes by 2010"). my source for that 411? page 13 of the design doc. wicked. this new github repository contains five scripts: 1992 - 2010 download HRS microdata.R loop through every year and every file, download, then unzip everything in one big party impor t longitudinal RAND contributed files.R create a SQLite database (.db) on the local disk load the rand, rand-cams, and both rand-family files into the database (.db) in chunks (to prevent overloading ram) longitudinal RAND - analysis examples.R connect to the sql database created by the 'import longitudinal RAND contributed files' program create tw o database-backed complex sample survey object, using a taylor-series linearization design perform a mountain of analysis examples with wave weights from two different points in the panel import example HRS file.R load a fixed-width file using only the sas importation script directly into ram with < a href="http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2012/07/importing-public-data-with-sas-instructions-into-r.html">SAScii parse through the IF block at the bottom of the sas importation script, blank out a number of variables save the file as an R data file (.rda) for fast loading later replicate 2002 regression.R connect to the sql database created by the 'import longitudinal RAND contributed files' program create a database-backed complex sample survey object, using a taylor-series linearization design exactly match the final regression shown in this document provided by analysts at RAND as an update of the regression on pdf page B76 of this document . click here to view these five scripts for more detail about the health and retirement study (hrs), visit: michigan's hrs homepage rand's hrs homepage the hrs wikipedia page a running list of publications using hrs notes: exemplary work making it this far. as a reward, here's the detailed codebook for the main rand hrs file. note that rand also creates 'flat files' for every survey wave, but really, most every analysis you c an think of is possible using just the four files imported with the rand importation script above. if you must work with the non-rand files, there's an example of how to import a single hrs (umich-created) file, but if you wish to import more than one, you'll have to write some for loops yourself. confidential to sas, spss, stata, and sudaan users: a tidal wave is coming. you can get water up your nose and be dragged out to sea, or you can grab a surf board. time to transition to r. :D

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
