st: Analyzing NAEP Data in Stata

[Bob Fitzgerald <bfitzgerald@mprinc.com>]

I would be interested in hearing from any list member who has used Stata 
for NAEP student-level analyses.

The NAEP student data (National Assessment of Educational Progress), are 
collected during a large national assessment conducted about every two 
years in the U.S. NAEP items are constructed using IRT methods, and the 
item selection is based on a matrix sample. The NAEP data contain five 
plausible values for each response.

I found an earlier request from Brian Jacobs 
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2003-06/msg00505.html but no 
substantive replies to his post. I am hoping that the increased 
availability of NAEP data since 2003 may be associated with an increase in 
the number of researchers using  Stata to analyze these data.

Many thanks.

Bob
