Hello DHS team,
I am trying to approximate cluster-level weights from individual weights for 2015-16 Indian DHS (NFHS-4). While replicating the code in "Multilevel Modelling Using DHS Surveys...:Methodological Report 27" for India, I could not find the distribution of EAs and their average size in number of households by strata in the NFHS-4 final report.
I would be very grateful if anyone could help me in this regard.
Regards,

Unfortunately, the NFHS-4 guidance does not directly correspond with NFHS-5; NFHS-5 was collected using 707 districts, as compared to the 640 in NFHS-4, thus including more districts than were used in the 2011 India Census. The multilevel weight calculations require the total number of census clusters in a given strata, the average number of households per cluster by sampling strata, and the total number of households according to the census frame. The NFHS-5 (India 2019-21) final report on the DHS website right now doesn't seem to contain appendices, so I can't tell if any of this information is provided therein.
Do you have any recommendations for how to get this information and calculate these weights for NFHS-5?

Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
There have been other recent posts on calculating multilevel weights for the NFHS-5. DHS does not have the information required to calculate such weights, we do not know where to find the information (if it still exists), and we have no resources to put into this.
As I have said before, if anyone out there has been able to calculate the multilevel weights for the NFHS-5, please let us know and we will help make them available to other users.
