    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    The universe from which the AMPS sample is drawn, comprises adults aged 16 years or older in South Africa. In the case of each racial group, certain areas were excluded from consideration, as containing no persons or a negligible number of persons in a given group. A multistage, stratified, quasi-probability design was employed. This study is based on a full annual sample. The data were collected by personal, in-home interviews.
    Weighting

    The AMPS95 dataset has the following weight variables:

    1. Population Weights – “popwght”.
    2. Household Weights (not to be used with personal demographics) – “hhwght”.
    3. Household Decision Maker Weights - to be used with personal demographics. These must be used for personal analyses on household items – only on a filtered of male heads of household and female housewives – “hdmwght”. 4) Purchaser Weights – These must be used for the household products only on a filtered base of those wholly or partly responsible for household purchases – “purwght”.
