III. Guideline for data validation and usage
1. The Center for Survey Research (CSR), Research Center for Humanities and Social Sciences Academia Sinica, has checked wild codes and out-of-range values, consistency, and open-ended responses to validate and clean data.
There is no doubt about data accuracy after the validation.
2. New variables
(1) Complex sampling variables: According to the sampling framework given by the research team, variables of stratum, Primary Sampling Unit (PSU), and Secondary Sampling Unit (SSU) are added for complex sampling.
(2) Weighting variables:
a) Wsel is an additional variable of unequal probabilities of selection, sampling weights. Wsel is calculated via inflated coefficients (equal
proportional inflated sampling rates) multiplied by the product of PSU, SSU, and Tertiary Sampling Unit (TSU) in the sampling framework offered by the research team.
b) Based on the sampling framework and population’s distribution, the variable of wr is added as raking is employed after unequal probability weighting is completed.
(3) v23r, birth order, is the new variable created from v23a to v23d.
