The three packages are found to be efficient and flexible in analyzing complex survey data, but SAS in some cases seems to over estimate the variances of the sample statistics. Adjustment for stratification (incorporating stratification) is very important in complex survey analysis, especially if the stratification variable is endogenousenClustering, Complex survey, Sampling weight, Standard error, StratificationArticle
