Hi,
I am working on a multilevel logistic regression for multi-country (n=15) study using the DHS guide (https://www.dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/MR27/MR27.pdf) for the calculation of level weight.
Firstly, I have conducted the analysis within each country separately to determine which level of alpha should be used (e.g., allocation of variation in weights to the level-1 and level-2 units).
Then based on alpha for each country, I've weighted each dataset separately before merging the 15 countries datasets
Is this sufficient? May I start my analysis at this point with the pooled database using the svyset command?
Or do I still need to apply additional weights considering the differences in population size, since the population are not the same? And if so, how can I do that?
Many thanks in anticipation of your help
