摘要: The Living Standards Measurement Study -- Integrated Surveys on Agriculture project collects agricultural and livelihood data in seven countries Sub-Saharan Africa. In order to maintain representativeness as much possible over multiple rounds of collection, a sub-sample households are selected have members that left the household tracked interviewed their new location with members. Since sub-sampling occurs at level but tracking individual, number issues arise correct calculation for attrition corrections. This paper is based panel weight calculations initial surveys Uganda Tanzania, describes methodology used calculating components related sub-sampling, tracking, attrition, well criteria trimming post-stratification. It also addresses complications resulting from previously classified having attrited sample returning later rounds.
