Online Analysis Using SDA

The online analysis system allows you to run both simple and complex analyses, recode and compute new variables, and subset variables or cases for downloading. The software powering the system, named Survey Documentation and Analysis (SDA), was developed by the Computer-assisted Survey Methods Program (CSM) at the University of California, Berkeley.

Weight

Please note that weights may affect analysis results.

The data contain a weight variable (WEIGHT) that should be used in analyzing the data. Respondents were classified into 144 categories based on sex, age, region, and whether they lived in a city. The weight for each category was calculated by dividing the population for each category by the number of respondents for that category. The population for each category was obtained from the 2005 Population Census. Please refer to the codebook documentation for more information on weighting.
