Redmine Understanding Society User Support - Support #601 (Closed): cross-sectional weight for xtra five ...https://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/6012016-07-13T09:14:06ZRenee Luthrarrluthra@essex.ac.uk
<p>Hello,<br />In the wave 2 data file b_indresp there is no cross-sectional weight [b_ind5mus_xw]. Only the longitudinal weight is included [b_ind5mus_lw]</p>
<p>is this not available for wave 2?</p>
<p>thanks for helping,<br />Renee</p> Understanding Society User Support - Support #597 (Closed): some incorrect value lables - wave 5https://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/5972016-07-08T14:06:48ZRenee Luthrarrluthra@essex.ac.uk
<p>Hi!<br />The scwhoru* variables in wave 5 have strange value labels with @ inside, for instance:<br /> 1 @bvery important@b to my sense of who i am</p>
<p>There is also something a bit odd about the don't know responses to this variable, as far as I can tell at least. The question was given to those who agreed to self-completion OR telephone mode. There are two values for "don't know": -1 and 8. Only those who are scflag==1 have -1 values. But they also have 8 values for don't know/doesn't apply. So I am not sure if I should collapse -1 in the 8 category, or treat it as missing. Here an example:<br />tab scwhoruedu indmode if scflag==1, m</p>
<pre><code>| individual<br /> important who you | mode type<br /> are: education | f2f | Total<br />----------------------+-----------+----------<br /> missing | 11 | 11 <br /> refusal | 30 | 30 <br /> don't know | 18 | 18 <br /><code>bvery important@b to | 9,182 | 9,182 <br />@bfairly important@b | 14,962 | 14,962 <br />@bnot very important</code> | 7,370 | 7,370 <br />@bnot at all importan | 2,698 | 2,698 <br />don t know/doesn t ap | 1,928 | 1,928 <br />----------------------+-----------+----------<br /> Total | 36,199 | 36,199</code></pre>

<p>There are also a handful of cases with no telephone and no SC who have values, and they shouldn't I don't think, but I'm not worried about extra cases.</p>
<p>thanks for your help<br />Renee</p>
