Municipality sampling weight
https://userforum.dhsprogram.com/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=19840&th=9198#msg_19840
For the SADHS 2016 I have managed to identify municipality-level location of each cluster through the matching of GADM administrative boundary shapefiles to DHS cluster GPS data; in ArcGIS. I want to use municipalities as level 3 in a multilevel logistic model: with level 1 as individuals and level 2 as households. How can I calculate the separate finalised sampling weights for each level (in particular municipality) and how would I present this in STATA code? Additinoally, would I need to account for the actual PSU (clusters) in my analysis or not?
Thanks,
Jadene]]>j_lewis982020-08-19T20:48:54-00:00Re: Municipality sampling weight

Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:
Yesterday we posted a reply to a similar question from you. Perhaps you did not have a chance to read it. We cannot offer any guidance with respect to the use of municipality in a multi-level model. Those units were not part of the sampling design. You can of course include covariates that are municipality-specific even if that is not a level in a multi-level model.]]>Bridgette-DHS2020-08-21T16:58:57-00:00
