Dear Doctor Pullum，
Thank you for your reply, but I am still confused.
I quote from your previous answer"You definitely do not need to separate the survey into two parts for the two calendar years. "
-my response is that I didn't separate the data, it is the original data includes both years while it should've only had one year of data according to the filename.
and I totally understand that "sometimes, as with this survey, it straddles two consecutive years".
but the problem for me is that "year" is one of the variables in my analysis model and since the sample size of the two consecutive years is quite different, maybe I should combine those data into one year as the filename implies.
Regards.
PS. This confuses me is because the year on other filenames and actual data are consistent, except for only 5 countries' among 40.
