This menu can used to generate weights to be used in survey analysis.
Data format
Specifies to format of the data for creating the weights. Select Whole population
to supply the units sampled. Alternatively, select Response data only, if the data are to be
supplied using the number of primary sampling units in each stratum.
Units Sampled
A variate containing the units that have been sampled. It should contain a value
for each unit in the population, with unsampled or non-responding units being
indicated by missing values. If the data format specified
is for the Whole population then this must be supplied.
Similarly, for a simple unstratified random survey using the
Response data only data format the units sampled must be supplied.
Stratification factor
For a stratified survey, this is the factor indicating the stratum to which each unit belongs.
Number of primary sampling units in each stratum
When the response data is supplied this specifies a scalar, factor or table
containing the number of units in each stratum, or for
a multistage design this specifies the number of primary sampling units.
Sampling Units
A factor indicating the primary sampling units.
Number of secondary sampling units in each primary sampling unit
A scalar, factor or table specifying the number of units for each level
of the Sampling Units for a two-way design. This option
is only available for a two-way design where the response data is supplied.
Save weights in
Provides a space to specify the name of an identifier to save the survey weights within.
Available Data
This lists data structures appropriate to the current input field. The contents will change as you move from one field to the
next. Double-click on a name to copy it to the current input field; alternatively, you can type the name directly into the input field.
