The prevalence and correlates of adult ADHD in the United States: results from the National Comorbidity Survey Replication. (2006, methodology): “Because the sample design used weighting and clustering, all parameters were estimated using the Taylor series linearization method (27), a design-based method implemented in the SUDAAN software system (28).”
Severe Maternal Morbidity Among Delivery and Postpartum Hospitalizations in the United States (2012, methodology): “All statistical analyses were conducted using Stata 12 and adjusted for the complex study design of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample using Taylor’s linearization method.(12) As a result of a small size of hospitalizations for some rare severe morbidities, we report rates per 10,000 deliveries by 2-ye”
