Table 1. Components of MMP analysis weights.

COMPONENT FORMULA COMMENT
DESIGN WEIGHTING STAGE
Design weight W^0j={1PjProjectareas1PiPjNational For individual j sampled with probability Pj. National weights additionally incorporate first-stage sampling of state i with probability Pi.
Multiplicity adjustment W^1j={W^0j2ifsampledmorethanonceW^0jifsampledonlyonce
NONRESPONSE ADJUSTMENT STAGE
Overall nonresponse weight adjustment factor W2jk=jԑAW^1jkjԑRW^1jk Adjustments made within nonresponse classes k, which vary by area as well as nationally. A is all eligible sampled persons; R is respondents only.
Overall nonresponse adjusted weight W^2j=W^1jW2j
POST-STRATIFICATION AND TRIMMING STAGE
Initial post-stratification factor W3jh=ThjԑRW^2jh Adjustments made within cells h defined by gender, race/ethnicity, and age, by area and nationally. T is the number of eligible persons on the delayed frame; R is respondents only.
Post-stratified weight W^3j=W^2jW3j
Trimmed weight W^4j={MedianW^3j+4(IQR)ifW^3j>MedianW^3j+4(IQR)W^3jifW^3jMedianW^3j+4(IQR)
Final post-stratification factor W5jh=ThjεRW^4jh Within cells h defined by sex, race/ethnicity, and age, by area and nationally.
FINAL WEIGHT STAGE
