Hi Matthew,
First off - thank you! I appreciate the sample code and additional reading.
Does IPUMS have suggestions on when to use person weights vs. replicate weights (or is that not even a valid comparison?).
For instance, I was using code from this IPUMS thread provided by an IPUMS Staff Member - Does anyone have sample code for using svydesign function in R? - #2 by gfellis
Example:
svy ← svydesign(~CLUSTER, weights = ~PERWT, strata = ~STRATA, data = data, nest = TRUE, check.strata = FALSE)
svymean(~HISPAN, svy)
This also gives you standard errors - but it’s not clear to me when you want to use either method.
Thanks!
