AQMeN - Applied Quantitative Methods Network

As part of the PhD doctoral training event run in May 2010, representatives from both Scottish Government and Survey Companies presented on four large-scale Scottish Datasets.  The presentations covered many aspects of data collection including why the data is required and how it is used, how the surveys are created and the data collected, sampling and much more.  Links to these presentations are provided below.
