Stata module that implements Potter's (1990) weight distribution approach to trim extreme sampling weights. The basic idea is that the sampling weights are assumed to follow a beta distribution. The parameters of the distribution are estimated from the moments of the observed sampling weights and the resulting quantiles are used as cut-off points for extreme sampling weights. The process is repeated a specified number of times (10 by default) or until no sampling weights are more extreme than the specified quantiles.

Learn about the techniques used to create weights for the 2022 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) at the pair and questionnaire dwelling unit (QDU) levels. NSDUH is designed so that some of the sampled households have both an adult and a youth respondent who are paired. Because of this, NSDUH allows for estimating characteristics at the person level, pair level, or QDU level. This report describes pair selection probabilities, the generalized exponential model (including predictor variables used), and the multiple weight components that are used for pair or QDU levels of analysis. An evaluation of the calibration weights is also included.Chapters:Introduces the report.Discusses the probability of selection for pairs and QDUs.Briefly describes of the generalized exponential model.Describes the predictor variables for the model calibration.Defines extreme weights.Discusses weight calibrations.Evaluates the calibration weights.Appendices include technical details about the model and the evaluations that were performed.

Survey weighting allows researchers to account for bias in survey samples, due to unit nonresponse or convenience sampling, using measured demographic covariates. Unfortunately, in practice, it is impossible to know whether the estimated survey weights are sufficient to alleviate concerns about bias due to unobserved confounders or incorrect functional forms used in weighting. In the following paper, we propose two sensitivity analyses for the exclusion of important covariates: (1) a sensitivity analysis for partially observed confounders (i.e., variables measured across the survey sample, but not the target population), and (2) a sensitivity analysis for fully unobserved confounders (i.e., variables not measured in either the survey or the target population). We provide graphical and numerical summaries of the potential bias that arises from such confounders, and introduce a benchmarking approach that allows researchers to quantitatively reason about the sensitivity of their results. We demonstrate our proposed sensitivity analyses using state-level 2020 U.S. Presidential Election polls.

This is the 2016 NSDUH Sampling Weight Report.

This report contains a brief review of the sampling weight calibration methodology used for the 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). This report also lists detailed documentation on the implementation steps and evaluation results from the weight calibration application. The constrained exponential modeling (CEM) method used in the surveys before 1999 (referred to in this report as the generalized exponential model [GEM]) was modified to provide more flexibility in dealing internally with the extreme weights and for setting bounds directly on the weight adjustment factors so they can become suitable for nonresponse (nr) and poststratification (ps) adjustments.

This report describes the person-level sampling weight calibration procedures used on the 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). The report describes the practical aspects of implementing generalized exponential model (GEM) for the NSDUH.

NSDUH allows for estimating characteristics at the person level, pair level, and household or QDU level. This report describes the weight calibration methods used for the pair- and QDU-level respondents. As described in the person-level report, NSDUH is an annual survey of about 67,500 people selected from the civilian, noninstitutionalized population aged 12 or older from all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
