Hi,

It appears that in the composite tab of many of the the excel files, the quintile cut-offs are given from an unweighted analysis. For example, Kenya DHS 2014 or Cambodia DHS 2014 have an n that is the same as the number of respondents in the dataset. In other countries, such as Philippines DHS 2013 or Madagascar DHS 2008 the quintile cutoffs are presented from a weighted analysis. It would be great to know why this is. Also, am I right to think that generally, the quintile cutoffs should be calculated after weighting using hhmemwt?

Thanks
