调查方法学理学硕士

“调查方法论计划”将具有不同学科背景的教职员工融合在一起，全部致力于教授调查统计和方法论方面的最新实践。该计划的教职人员主要来自马里兰大学，密歇根大学和威斯特特大学，并辅以许多联邦统计机构的讲师。SURV提供调查方法论理学硕士学位和调查方法论博士学位。这两个学位课程都具有三个重点领域：统计科学，社会与心理科学和数据科学。统计科学领域的专为那些希望在诸如样本设计，复杂样本中的估计，方差估计，统计测量误差模型以及缺失数据的统计调整等领域的学生而设计。社会科学专攻领域是为希望专门研究以下领域的学生而设计的，例如
The Survey Methodology Program blends together faculty with diverse disciplinary backgrounds, all devoted to teaching state-of-the-art practices in the statistical and methodological aspects of surveys. The program's faculty come primarily from the University of Maryland, University of Michigan, and Westat, supplemented by instructors from a number of federal statistical agencies. SURV offers a Master of Science in Survey Methodology and a Ph. D. in Survey Methodology. Both degree programs have three areas of concentration: Statistical Science , Social and Psychological Science and Data Science.The statistical science area of concentration is designed for students who wish to specialize in areas such as sample design, estimation in complex samples, variance estimation, statistical measurement error models, and statistical adjustments for missing data. The social science area of concentration is designed for students who wish to specialize in areas such as questionnaire design, design of interviewing systems, computer assistance in data collection, effects of mode of data collection, cognitive psychological insights into survey measurement, and efforts to reduce various nonsampling errors in data collection. The data science area of concentration is designed for students who wish to specialize in the more computational aspects of survey methodology and research involving big data, including data visualization, management and analysis of large and messy data sets, human-computer interaction in survey research, and machine learning algorithms.
