Abstract

The paper deals with the possibilities of designing complex statistical surveys and selected analysis of data obtained from these surveys. A description is provided for the general approach to the sampling scheme of the complex statistical survey. Data analysis from the complex survey can be realized by sequence of actions estimating the characteristics from lowest to the highest level of the sampling scheme. The use of sampling weights can often greatly simplify the data analysis process from complex surveys. The paper describes the construction of empirical probability mass function, empirical cumulative distribution function and estimation of median with the use of sampling weights. The medians of the total gross household incomes in eight Slovak regions were estimated and compared on the basis of the data from the Slovak Republic: EU-SILC, 2014.
