I am attempting to fit some models and account for sampling weights usings the AIDS recode (AR).
I know the hiv05 variable represents individual weights and hivclust represents the cluster, but are there strata to be accounted for in the AIDS recode?
Specifically, I am working with KDHS2003 and KDHS2008 AR.
Thanks!
Jessica

Is there any documentation on the weighting of the AR?
I am trying to use the AR to estimate prevalence as a continuous, smooth surface while properly adjusting for the sampling scheme. I am struggling to find any documentation at all on the AIDS recode.
Thank you.

Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:
You can only analyze the AR file if you merge it with the PR, IR, or MR file. I have provided some examples of how to this in other forum posts.
Your goal of producing smooth surfaces of HIV prevalence, what we refer to as interpolated surfaces in some recent Spatial Analysis Reports, is too ambitious. The data are too sparse. You are welcome to try but we cannot help with that.
