Weighting
Calculations of estimates from the Nutrition Survey require the use of weights because of the varying inclusion probabilities that the sample design entails. The weights for a given households simply is the inverse of its inclusion probability. This yields the so-called expansion weight, which will expand the sample to the total population. The weights used are the same for households, household members, women and children, since the sample design required that all such lower level units pertaining to a household were selected during enumeration. To make the weighing procedure feasible and simple, we assumed that the households have been selected directly within the EA.
