    1. IPEDS Tools SHEEO/NCES Network Conference & IPEDS Workshop 3/30/04 John Milam HigherEd.org, Inc.

    2. Dataset Cutting Tool (DCT) Part of the PAS & it’s LIVE! At http://nces.ed.gov/ipedspas Replaces the “Dump a dataset” feature Replaces the IPEDS Electronic Code Book Designed as an alternative within the PAS Includes all IPEDS data; will make derived variables available when finalized Doesn’t have all the bells & whistles Quickly creates customized datasets, w/ read programs for SAS, SPSS, & STATA & a customized data dictionary w/ statistics

    3. IPEDS Glossary Now available live at: http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/glossary Almost 500 terms Simple string search of terms or definitions View terms by # or letter See links in definitions to other terms See related terms See all listings in PDF format

    4. Peer Tool for Novices (PTN) Part of the PAS with the same general interface & “look and feel” Design to whet the user’s appetite for data, hopefully leading them to use the PAS Presents a simple, step-by-step process: 1) identify a starting or linchpin institution 2) pick peers 3) pick the data they want 4) view a report Requires creating derived variables of policy interest; but includes only a subset

    5. Peer Tool for Novices - cont. Provides data at institution level, up to 100 schools at a time Limited options for picking peer schools 1) pick by name 2) automatic peer generation ala NPEC 2) selection criteria Data are presented in topics, like the taxonomy in ANSWERS View data online only, 8 variables at a time Reports for statistics & data, w/ ranking

    6. Data Analysis System (DAS) An independent app, not part of the PAS Let users dynamically generate summary tables for one year of final IPEDS data Does not provide individual school data, only aggregate estimates Identical in interface & utility to the DAS-OL applications for postsec sample surveys Save queries w/ Table Parameter Files (TPFs) Requires creating derived variables of policy interest; but includes only a subset

    7. Data Analysis System (DAS) - cont. Provide sums, counts, & percentage estimates for tables structured with rows and columns Include by-column specs & spanner specs for groups of IPEDS schools with user-defined filters Make cuts in continuous variables - to identify ranges of values to form subgroups Make lumps of categorical variables - to select or regroup the categories

    8. Data in IPEDS Tools
