Thank you for your response Dr. Ruilin Ren

I have two more questions regarding weights. I am pooling DHS surveys , two surveys per country. The country I selected is Perú. I read that before to run a regression model, I should re-normalize the weights.

I proceed like previous post suggestion:

V005*=V005×(total females age 15-49 in the country at the time of the survey)/(number of women age 15-49 interviewed in the survey)

Since my outcome is child weight:

(1) Could I re-normalize the weigths using this conversion factor?

V005*=V005×(total children age 0-5 in the country at the time of the survey)/(number of children age 0-5 interviewed in the survey)

(2) is there other way to re-normalize the weight that you could suggest to me?

Thank you so much
