Last month, Lucy Stokes presented a short course which gave users a thorough introduction to the ASHE-2011 Census dataset, with a focus on practical usage.
The course covered:
- An overview of the ASHE-2011 Census dataset, including reasons for using the data, the contents of the dataset, and information about its construction.
- A case study example using the linked dataset.
- Hands-on examples using a synthetic, simplified version of the linked data.
- Information on practical aspects such as how to apply for access to the data.
By the end of this course, participants were able to:
- Understand the content of the linked ASHE-2011 Census dataset and how this may be useful for research and analysis.
- Have a more detailed understanding of how to use the dataset and important factors to bear in mind for analysis, such as the use of weights.
- Gained practical experience in working with a synthetic, simplified version of the data.
- Understand the practicalities of accessing and working with the ASHE-2011 Census dataset.
