Yes this is very helpful and have successfully merged my data. Thanks for the detailed explanation.
My next step is to conduct analysis and I am using data from KDHS 2003, KDHS 2008_9, KDHS 2014 and KDHS 2022. I am aware that i need to account for the weights-complex survey design and have reviewed several posts in the forum around this topic. It seems there were mixed views around the need to weight data in regression analysis from the earlier posts but now more people are adopting the weights based on the questions posted. I also see some published work that have not accounted for weights. In my case I intend to fit a multilevel logistic regression at individual level.
Could you please confirm if the current recommended practise is to include the weights/survey design? Additionally is there a DHS documentation that elaborates on how to apply the weights if i combine data from the 4 surveys?- from the forums it is not clear to me when to rescale the weights if pooling data across multiple surveys from one country.
Thank you.
Best wishes,
Robert B.
