Common use of MEPS Panel 13 Weight Clause in Contracts

MEPS Panel 13 Weight. The person-level weight for MEPS Panel 13 was developed using the 2008 full year weight for an individual as a “base” weight for survey participants present in 2008. For key, in-scope RU members who joined an RU some time in 2009 after being out-of-scope in 2008, the 2008 family weight associated with the family the person joined served as a “base” weight. The weighting process included an adjustment for nonresponse over Rounds 4 and 5 as well as raking to population control figures for December 2009. These control figures were derived by scaling back the population totals obtained from the March 2010 CPS to correspond to a national estimate for the civilian noninstitutionalized population provided by the Census Bureau for December 2009. Variables used in the establishment of person-level control figures included: census region (Northeast, Midwest, South, West); MSA status (MSA, non-MSA); race/ethnicity (Hispanic, black but non-Hispanic, Asian but non-Hispanic, and other); sex; and age. Xxx, responding persons not in-scope on December 31, 2009 but in-scope earlier in the year retained, as their final Panel 13 weight, the weight after the nonresponse adjustment.
