Thank you Tom,

You have exactly characterized our process.

"Everyone in the same cluster (PSU) has the same weight." From this I am gathering that you think it would be reasonable to apply the same weight to these "missed" individuals as others in the PSU?

Our concern with this was that if the weights compensate for PSU attrition levels, then this could then lead to over-representing PSUs that had higher attrition. Presumably this distortion would be fairly small, but sounds like it would at least be a reasonable first pass.

Thank you again for your careful thought and quick responses.

Sylvan
