Dear DHS specialists,
For the first time as I have noticed, I am doing Multilevel analysis on DHS-2016 Sri lanka. This data is country specific and the codes seem different from the standard way. . Like the other DHS datasets I could not see variable called hv021 (primary sampling unit) but there is variable called cluster number, so I am using this as my PSU, without doing any alterations.
My questions are
1. I am using xtmelogit low_birth_wt , || QACLUST :, covariance(independent) STATA command which is low birth weight is a binary variables and cluster as PSU. Is this correct?
2. For null model I used the above command, which shows ICC of 7%..which does not show significant variance. Hence I used household ID as a next level.xtmelogit low_birth_wt , || hhid, which shows the ICC of 50%.
I need to know whether my path is correct and the variables I am using are correct. It is extremely hard to deal with different variables.
Kindy help me to sort out this.
Thanks in advance
Gaya
