Pilates with Chuck: Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey (CTUMS)

Last year we were stretched with complex surveys using the Canadian Travel Survey. This year our data exercise will focus on shaping data from another interesting survey - the Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey (CTUMS). After last year's exercise using finger puppets, you'll find fitness for more than just your fingers! The objective of this computing exercise is to explore the different types of variables and their functions using the CTUMS 2001 for context. The vocabularies of data and analysis use different labels for the various functions that variables perform. In this exercise, you will identify some of these differences in CTUMS. (Note: Data associated with this presentation is available on the DLI FTP site under folder 1873-203.)
