Preparing a Complex Sample for Analysis

The Analysis Preparation Wizard guides you through the steps for creating or modifying an analysis plan for use with the various Complex Samples analysis procedures. Before using the Wizard, you should have a sample drawn according to a complex design.

Creating a new plan is most useful when you do not have access to the sampling plan file used to draw the sample (recall that the sampling plan contains a default analysis plan). If you do have access to the sampling plan file used to draw the sample, you can use the default analysis plan contained in the sampling plan file or override the default analysis specifications and save your changes to a new file.
