Please describe your problem

Hi everyone,

I would like to ask for your advice on survey weights for my regression analysis.

I am using data from biopupil, bioparen, and youthl, but I could not find weighting variables in these dataset. Does anyone know which weight should be used for this type of merged analysis, or where I can find the appropriate weighting information?

Any suggestions or references would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Best,
Derrick

Dear Derrick,

you can find weights at the person (household)-level in the PPATHL (HPATHL) data set, the corresponding weight variable is phrf (hhrf).

Best,

Hans
