Synthetic survey data from a community college used to illustrate survey non-response/response bias and methods to reduce this bias. This data set (survey_response) contains a list of respondents and non-respondents in a student satisfaction survey. It also contains demographic information of all students that were invited to participate in the survey. Actual survey results for the respondents are stored in the survey_results data set.
