Response from Dr. Ruilin Ren (sampling expert):
Hi Amira
I do not know what kind of analysis you are doing. The aggregated analysis has two meanings, to get enough sample size, and to aggregate to known geographical or administrative units of the country. If you regroup the districts, you know where the aggregated area is. If you aggregate a few clusters just to get a larger number of cases, but you do not know what is the area or the administrative unit your aggregated clusters represent for, even you can calculate an indicator value, but you do not know where it represents for therefore you cannot interpret it. I think you have to aggregate to known geographical or administrative units level.
Best Regards
Ruilin
