Description
I am conducting an analysis for which I need to use the provided calendar year datasets. I have the following questions:
1) You state on the website that the calendar year datasets are not intended for longitudinal analysis; why is that, and, is there a way to overcome this? (asking as I want to conduct a longitudinal analysis)
2) Do you also recommend avoiding longitudinal analysis when we manually construct the calendar year datasets ourselves (by merging the waves)?
3) If I go ahead with either 10 or 20, would you recommend avoiding to use the provided longitudinal weights?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Best wishes,
Marina
