Hi,
I am trying to replicate the cutoff points for wealth quintiles in the Rwanda 2014-15 survey. I am working with the HR dataset and have almost been able to recreate the distribution of households across quintiles using hv271 (wealth index factor score, 5 decimals) - I am working on Stata:
gen hhweight = (hv005*hv012)/1000000
xtile hhwealth = hv271 [pw = hhweight], nq(5)
However, when I run the analysis to get the cutoff points, I do not get the same results as those reported in the country spreadsheet (see below). Is this because the combscor is not the same as hv271?
Would really appreciate if someone could help me sort this out. Thanks!
Ana
