Hello,

I forgot to add one more thing.
You may have done this already but for the men's file you would compute the weight variable (wt) in this way:

# creating the sampling weight variable.
Mendata$wt <- Mendata$mv005/1000000

For the women's file you would use v005.

Thank you.
Best,
Shireen Assaf
