Hi all,
I am using the sampling weights from the Pakistan 2006/2007 PR dataset. I am observing that around 55,000 of the household members have a sampling weight that is zero. I am very puzzled because this means that these observations are to be excluded from the analysis as their weight is zero. I also have another example with zero sampling weights, but this time in the IR file - Namibia 2013.
Could you clarify in what cases can the sampling weights in the PR and the IR file can be zero? And also how to handle these observations - should the sampling weights be set to a missing maybe? On this note, I was wondering whether from your experience there could be also missing sampling weights be it in the PR or the IR datafile?
Thank you!
