Hi,
I do not understand the documentation on sampling weights. I am trying to produce both descriptive statistics and regression analysis among all married, rural women in DHS-V (NFHS-3) for India.
Can someone please confirm I have svyset the data correctly?
Code:
generate wgt = v005/1000000
svyset [pw=wgt], psu(s021) strata(v022)
In particular, I am worried that the strata variable is incorrect.

Following is a response from Senior DHS Specialist, Kerry MacQuarrie:
Yes, the code that you have constructed is accurate for the NFHS-4:
generate wgt = v005/1000000
svyset [pw=wgt], psu(v021) strata(v022)
You could use either psu(v001) or psu(v021) as those variables are equivalent. For other surveys, I frequently add the option below to handle strata that happen to have a single psu in it. This does not occur in the India NFHS.
svyset [pw=wgt], psu(v021) strata(v022) singleunit(center)
