Description

Hi

The US provides instructions on pages 65 to 71. Section 3.3 to choose the correct Variable to Weight the data.
I have selected n_indpxui_xw because I'm using the individual dataset and not excluding proxy responses.
However, the naming convention on page 71 suggests that n_indpxus_xw would be the correct weight? This variable is not available in the dataset that I'm using. N_indpxus_lw is indeed available but LW stands for longitudinal data and I'm only doing analysis of one wave. therefore this is not longitudinal. Instead XW weights that stand for cross-sectional data, i.e. using one wave cross-sectional data.
n_indpxui_wv is the only variable that is cross-sectional that is available in the dataset I have selected this as the correct weight to use? Can you confirm this please

best wishes

Sarah
