Survey Weight [message #31381]

I am leading a survey similar to DHS. The sample was selected using a two-stage design: 600 clusters were chosen in the first stage, and in the second stage 20 households were sampled within each cluster.

Although 600 clusters were selected, data collection was completed in only 530 clusters.

Could you please advise me on the appropriate weight calculation in this situation? Is any adjustment for the population or non-response required, and if so, how should I implement it?

Thank you in advance for your kind guidance.
