In this course you will learn how to use survey weights to estimate descriptive statistics, like means and totals, and more complicated quantities like model parameters for linear and logistic regressions. Software capabilities will be covered with R® receiving particular emphasis. The course will also cover the basics of record linkage and statistical matching—both of which are becoming more important as ways of combining data from different sources. Combining of datasets raises ethical issues which the course reviews. Informed consent may have to be obtained from persons to allow their data to be linked. You will learn about differences in the legal requirements in different countries.

I found very difficult to understand the way professsor Valliant explains concepts. Also I think that the quizzes are not necesarily correlated with the presentation or talks.

What saves this course was the participation of Profess

The course was excellent and the classes well taught by teachers.

The course was useful and informative to me.
Teachers made complex topics clear and understandable.
I liked the practical examples
The good part of the course is the one dealt with by Frauke Kreuter.
This is the 1 of the 2 worst course I have done in Coursera. The instructional material that are very poor and nearly immpossible to follow. The courses in this specialisation run by other instructors are much better.
Great course! Thanks, Professsor Valliant and Professor Frauke Kreuter.
Mil gracias maestro Richard, Mil gracias Coursera.
Easy to understand
Unfortunately, I don't feel like I am learning enough, and I do not have the confidence I thought I would when I saw the course. Sadly, I might not be able to get the specialization certificate I thought I would, and at the same time, I want to get a certificate for what I believe that I could genuinely do.
