Hello, Please I need your suggestions. I want to use data of DHS to analyse the effect of the consommation of a product on the probability to work. Unfortunately, I have only 100 people who consume the product. I thought I could use the sampling weight to allow my 100 people to be representative of the country population. However when I use tab var [aw=hv005] I have about 300 000 000 people who consume the product, that doesn t make sense since the real population of the country is about 11 000 000. when I use the recommandation of the DHS material gen weight=hv005/1 000 000; tab var [aw=weight] I get less than 100 people who consume the product. so I would like to know how I can use sample weights in my descriptives statistics to have a representativeness of the population with my few data. Thanks.
