Thanks dear Liz, i was able to get information about the women population aged 15-49 from UN projection and the number of women interview from the dhs manual of individual countries. I tried to denormalize using this formula; V005*=V005×(total females age 15-49 in the country at the time of the survey)/(number of women age 15-49 interviewed in the survey). Of course, i divided v005/1000000 before using it in the formula. But am kind of lost, before denormalization i had a total sample of 25,438 (unweight count), however, after denormalization and using the denormalized weights am getting a total sample of 9,954329 cases. Is there something i am doing wrong as the number of cases is too large while using the denormalized weights and will affect the bivaraite analysis in terms of significance.
Is there a need for further analysis like;
[(denormalized weights*total number of women(15-49) interviewed in the survey)/total number of women (15-49)at the time of survey].
Thanks.
