Good Morning,
I am in the process of analysing the 2015 DHS from Zimbabwe. I am using R (I am quite new to the programme) and I am currently stuck as my DEFFs are all coming out negative (it should not happen in my case) or not at all.
I am analysing the data from 1 region only and I already did the cleaning and subset of my data.
I set my survey design following the instructions I found online from other users:
DHSdesign<-svydesign(id= ~fin_df$PSU, #V021
strata= ~fin_df$STRATA, #V022
weights= ~fin_df$PERWEIGHT, #V005
data=fin_df)
Now, I want to calculate the DEFF for the variable C_SEX2 from my fin_df dataframe and I type the following:
DEFF<- svymean(~fin_df$C_SEX2, design=DHSdesign, na = TRUE, deff = TRUE)
the output is the following:
Warning message:
In svymean.survey.design2(~fin_df$C_SEX2 == 1, design = DHSdesign, :
Sample size greater than population size: are weights correctly scaled?
mean SE DEff
fin_df$C_SEX20 0.548656 0.021449 NA
fin_df$C_SEX21 0.451344 0.021449 NA
I also tried:
DEFF1 <- svytotal(~fin_df$C_SEX2, design=DHSdesign, na = TRUE, deff = TRUE)
total SE DEff
fin_df$C_SEX20 144.736 12.150 -5.2710
fin_df$C_SEX21 119.065 9.295 -3.0851
Can anyone see a mistake or advise me?
Thank you very much in advance :)
Best wishes,
Patrizia
