Hi,I also have the same question.I am using Bangladesh DHS survey in 2014 for one of my projects. I am using Individual Record(BDIR70DT). I am writing for difference between the results I summaried based on IR files and the DHS final reports.I will really appreciate your help in clarify my doubts.
There are 17863 women in IR files.The final report shows 5047 women of them live in urban area.(P29,table 3.1) However,I analysis there are 6167 urban women using R. The number of every residence is also different.
Now I know maybe I don't use weights to analysis,but I don't know what the weight is and how to use it.could you explain it for me?
Thank you very much for your time.
Best regards,
Soleilvon
