Hi,

Many thanks for the discussion, it helped me understand few critical points.

I am new to survey analysis and hence, have a very basic naive question,

In the discussion you guys mention:

After pooling the data and de-normalizing the weight, you can use the de-normalized weight for any kind of analysis, restricted to a domain or not, except for estimating totals, because the weight is not in the right scale for totals.

What do you mean when you say "estimating totals"? What does "totals" stand for? From what I understand, is it mean?

In that case, does it imply that pooled data should not be used to perform cross-country (over time) descriptive analysis?

I would really appreciate any clarification.

Many thanks..!!!!

Regards
Kinsuk
