Hi DHS users,
I faced a challenge on the use of weight in Rwanda DHS data set(RDHS2014-15). RW70PRFL.SV .I tried to apply a weight integrated in data set which is hv0005 with objective to get the population currently attending with reference to Rwanda Population and Housing Census 2012.My question is why the number of population does change when we apply weight(DHS).For example sample household is 12,669 but when we apply a weight it gives the same number while we expect to have 2 millions and more.The same when we use population data set (PR),I m getting the same number as I get when I apply the weight.
I need your support.
Regards
