Redmine Understanding Society User Support - Support #920 (Resolved): Advice on weighting and accounting ...https://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/9202018-02-15T14:21:51ZNgaire Coombs
<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm comparing the financial confidence (variable 'finnow') of people aged 70-79 between 1991 (BHPS) and 2016 (Understanding Society), using data downloaded from the UK Data Service.</p>
<p>I'd like to check I'm using the correct weighting and survey design variables.</p>
<p>I've weighted the data for non-response with ba_xrwght in 1991, and g_indinui_xw in 2016, to select respondents to the main interview (excluding proxy and self-completed).</p>
<p>Using the setsvy command in Stata, I've selected psu (1991) and g_psu (2016) as the psu variable, and strata (1991) and g_strata (2016) as the strata variable.</p>
<p>I would appreciate confirmation that this is appropriate, as I am unfamiliar with this survey.</p>
<p>Thanks,<br />Ngaire.</p>
