Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present how to carry out the classical and logistic regression analyses in sample surveys, describing the socio-economic phenomena, to which complex a sample was drawn. The object of the study are households in Poland, surveyed in the household budgets survey, conducted annually by the Central Statistical Office. The essence of the methods analysis of complex samples is based on taking into account an appropriate design sampling scheme in the estimation which includes stratification, weigh-ing, multistage sampling and adjustments for non-sampling errors. Parameters’ estimates and their variances’ estimates which measure the precision of the parameters’ estimates are different when using appropriate procedures for complex samples from the results which would be obtained if the procedures for simple sample were used. The SAS procedures for regression from complex samples were applied. It was possible due to the significant advances in computational techniques including the development of modeling software as well as increase its availability to users.
