Suppose you want to analyse data by applying weights but then there different weights for different data sets for example;


1. DHS 2016 which has different weights for women and men. Now when you want to analyse data by combining the two ( men and women) which weight do you use in this context? e.g

tab number_hopitavlvisit sex [aw = men? or aw=women? or aw= women+men?]

2. when analysing DHS data for different years,say 2004, 2010, 2016, which weight will you use in such context
