Hi There,

I am undertaking an analysis that requires me to vertically merge the NFHS-4 and NFHS-5 datasets.
The merged data has about 1.3 million observations (0.7 million (NFHS-5) and 0.6 million (NFHS-4).

I have no idea how to calculate the survey weight for the merged dataset.
I searched for older posts on the forum, but most of them were concerned with merging datasets from multiple countries.
I am not sure the same methodology applies for merging two datasets from the same country.
Moreover, I would appreciate it if anyone could provide a reference for citing in my research project.
Or tag a post on this forum that provides guidance on the same topic.

Thank You!.
