Hi,

I am using a dataset with the children's files from the 3 waves appended (NFHS India -1,2,3). I need to setup the survey variables in Stata using svyset.
However, I am unsure about which variable to set as psu.

v021 has information for waves 1 and 2 whereas the information for wave 3 is in s021. However, the values of these 2 variables are not comparable.

For example:
v021 s021 v000
--------------------
37. 4 . IA2
39. 6 . IA2
54. 11 . IA2

63. 1 . IA3
66. 1 . IA3

1. . 1001 IA5
2. . 1001 IA5

I have been trying to figure out whether I can recode these variables to match but having very little experience with svy, I am not sure on how to proceed.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you
