Hello,
I have a question about the population size in regression outputs. I used the code below for applying weights and survey design in Stata.
egen clusters=group(v021), label
egen strata=group(v024 v025), label
svyset cluster [pweight=v005], strata(strata) singleunit(centered)
My data is Cameroon DHS 2011(15,426 women in sample).
My output, however, shows a very large population size. I thought the population size was suppose to reflect the population of women in the country.
Also, will the population size double if 2 datasets (2004 and 2011)for the same country are pooled together?
Here is the output for CDHS 2011:
Number of strata = 22 Number of obs = 15426
Number of PSUs = 578 Population size = 15425999854
Design df = 556
F( 1, 556) = 127.68
Prob > F = 0.0000
