For Peru DHS 2012, the DV weight variable 'd005' is empty/blank. Kindly guide as to what weighting variable needs to be used?
Thanks

Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

Since about 2006, the surveys in Peru have been conducted annually (as a "continuous survey") and independently of DHS and USAID. We do not even have the data files for surveys conducted after 2012. For 2012, we do not have any raw data files that might include d005. In the absence of d005, all we can suggest is that you use v005 for the weight variable.
