Description

I am using 5 different waves (waves 9 to 13) and have decided on the weight m_indscui_lw as I watched the video on choosing the weights and think this is my best option. I am using middle aged-adults for my project. But I have ran the frequencies on this weight for my data and it says there are approximately 2000 participants with a weight of 0. I am just wondering why this is the case. Thanks very much

Hello Máiréad,

Please refer to FAQ13 of the Weighting and Sample Representation: Frequently Asked Questions guide (https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/documentation/user-guides/6614_main_survey_user_guide_weighting_faqs.pdf), which address this issue.

I hope this information is helpful.

Best wishes,
