Data file: WEIGHT

The file weight contains the variable hhweight, which is the factor of expansion to be applied to the basic data files to obtain significant and representative results at the analytical domain level. In addition to the household weight, variables regarding those particular strata can also be found here. They allow you to identify the location of the household and include the main geographic areas of interest such as urban/rural and analytical domains (Dili/Baucau, Other Major Urban Centers and Rural Areas). Two more variables that allow a further break down of Rural Areas are one on agro-ecologic zones (Lowlands and Highlands) and another on broad regions (West,
Center and East).
