Sample weighting to match population?
Posted: Thu May 23, 2013 10:26 pm
Dear all,
I am running an OLS over some field data, whose questions score 1-10.
My estimation is like this:
question1 c age gender education
Meanwhile, I also want to weigh my sample so that it's distributed closer to the country's population. I wish the data be two-dimensionally weighted by population age and gender. For example, 0.2% of my sample is male aged 0-14 and from census data, such group comprises 0.6% of the entire population.
I would like to know what to do to manipulate my data.
Thank you all in advance!
Toby
