About

My name is Maddi ORCID logo and I am a PhD Student in Social Policy at the University of Edinburgh.

My research utilises the Growing Up in Scotland (GUS) birth cohort study. Like many popular social surveys, GUS has a complex sampling design. In the beginning of my PhD, I spent a lot of time learning how to approach statistical analyses with the unique requirements imposed by this type of data.

I made a lot of mistakes along the way, and wished for a guide on approaching survey research in R that was written to speak to someone like me: a social scientist armed with only a passable grasp of Stata and my study’s data documentation.

I hope that these workshop materials will be use of to someone else!
