Creation and use of weights is fundamental to the analysis of survey data, but collection of survey data is rarely a problem-free process. Some individuals chosen for a sample will refuse to respond. Sampled individuals may not be from the target population. Groups may be under- or over-represented. Even so, we wish to analyze data from these samples and, thus, to have weights that account for these issues.

Survey Weights: A Step-by-Step Guide to Calculation, by Richard Valliant and Jill Dever, walks readers through the whys and hows of creating and adjusting survey weights. It includes examples of calculating and applying these weights using Stata. This book is a crucial resource for those who collect survey data and need to create weights. It is equally valuable for advanced researchers who analyze survey data and need to better understand and utilize the weights that are included with many survey datasets.
