Raking 1: Select Census Data Choose a census dataset (CPS, ACS, etc.), and which variables you will use in your “raking model”. These are usually demographics variables (age, race, education, gender). You will need to recode your survey variables and/or the census variables so the response categories match. This might require grouping some values together. Match the year of the survey with the census data. If you have 2006 survey data, use the 2006 census data. Match the physical area as closely as possible. For example, the ACS uses PUMA codes (basically county-level data). Select only the PUMA codes of the area of interest. You should probably do some simple descriptives / frequencies to compare survey to census. Remember the ACS already has a weight (PWGTP). Using Weighted Data Donald Miller Population Research Institute 812 Oswald Tower, 3-3155 miller@ December 2008 Review of David Johnson’s Presentation A population weight (pweight) is a variable which indicates how many people (in the population of interest) an observation will count in a statistical procedure. This is different from a frequency weight (fweight), which indicates a row of a dataset actually represents more than one observation. Weights can be used to correct for design (over- and under- sampling), and for non-response bias. Most software packages treat pweights properly (a notable exception is SPSS outside of complex survey package). To create a pweight, use either a “raking”-type algorithm, or a logistic regression. How to use Population Weights SAS: Use the “weight” statement in procedures; this is a population weight: proc logistic data=mydata descending; model finished=age cs_educ sex race_white a1b a2b a3b a4b a5b a6b; weight pwgt_variable; run; Stata: Use the “pweight” option (you can use “pw”): regress y x1 x2 x3 [pweight=pwgt_variable] Raking 2: Frequencies (Census data) Construct 1-way frequency counts for every variable in the raking model.
