Hello,

I am using the Nepal DHS to look at factors affecting migration across the 01, 06, and 11 survey years.

I have de-normalized the weights for each year according to Ruilin's suggestions, but do I have to somehow account for the different sampling areas for each year. Would it be ok to merge all three years and use the cluster (V001) and strata (V023) variables in my analysis and assume the areas are the same for each survey round?

If I do have to adjust them, how do you recommend I go about doing so?

Thank you
Derek
