SUDAAN has evolved from a single general survey analysis procedure "STDERR" developed in 1970. Its creation was a response to the need for statistical software that supported analysis of data from complex sample surveys. Although several versatile software packages were available at the time (SPSS, SOUPAC, BMDP, P-stat, OSIRIS, SAS, and Minitab)none was designed to compute standard errors that took into account the survey design.
