Hi! I am using data from NFHS-4 India for some analysis and I would like to account for complex survey design (using the survey package in R) before estimating the distribution of certain variables. However, I always get an error message when I try to calculate totals,means or other statistics and I am not sure why.
This is how my code looks like:
dhs_design <-
svydesign(
id = ~ v021, #primary sampling unit
strata = ~v023, #stratification used in sample design
data = dhs_children,
weights = ~v005/1000000)
svytotal( x= ~ multiple_birth, dhs_design, na.rm = TRUE)
The error message that I get:
Error in onestrat(x[index, , drop = FALSE], clusters[index], nPSU[index][1], :
Stratum (902) has only one PSU at stage 1
Can you please let me know if I have correctly accounted for sample design? Is the stratification variable correct?
Your help will be very much appreciated.

Following is a response from DHS Senior Sampling Specialist, Mahmoud Elkasabi:
You need to run the following line code before you run the svydesign to avoid errors from single-PSU strata.
options(survey.lonely.psu = "adjust")
