A hands-on introductory HILDA Survey training course will be held on 11-12 April 2012 at the Australian National University.
Course information
This 2-day training course is designed for people who are interested in using the HILDA Survey data but have not yet done so. It will take a descriptive research problem such as "What happens to single mothers who receive Parenting Payment Single (PPS)? Do they stay on the program from one year to the next? Do they move to another income support program? Do they leave income support?" and go through all the steps necessary to answer this question. We begin with the HILDA DVD and assume participants have relatively little experience in working with large data sets. The training will then cover the following topics:
• Accessing the data
• Finding the right data
• Visualising the data
• Merging household and individual data
• Dealing with missing values
• Using imputed values
• Creating analysis variables from HILDA data
• Generating descriptive statistics in the panel context
• Understanding data patterns in the panel context
• Answering the question
There will be scope within the course to deal with individual questions which participants might have about data extraction and structure in panel data contexts.
