Common use of Person-level Weight Clause in Contracts

Person-level Weight. The person-level weight variable (WGTSP13) was constructed as a composite of separate panel specific weights. A positive person-level weight was assigned to all key members of the U.S. civilian, non-institutionalized population for whom MEPS data were collected, representing the corresponding U.S. population in early 2011. For the Panel 16 Round 1 participants, this weight reflects the original household probability of selection for the NHIS, a factor representing the proportion of the 16 NHIS panel-quarter combinations eligible for MEPS, the oversampling of the subgroups described earlier, ratio-adjustment to NHIS national population estimates at the household level, adjustment for non-participation in MEPS at the household or dwelling unit level, and poststratification to U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population estimates obtained from March 2011 CPS data at the family and person levels. For both Panels 15 and 16 separately person-level poststratification reflected population distributions across census region, MSA status, race/ethnicity (Hispanic, black/non-Hispanic, Asian, other), sex, and age. Finally, a composite weight was assigned to each responding person and a final poststratification was undertaken across the variables of census region, MSA status, race/ethnicity, sex, and age. Table 3-2 shows the number of persons with person weights for each of the two panels separately, as well as the combined total and the total population estimate represented by the weighted total for all persons with person-level weights. In terms of numbers of persons, there are 15,043 for Panel 15, Round 3 and 20,956 for Panel 16, Round 1. Thus, in total, there are 35,999 sample persons in the file with positive person-level weights (WGTSP13>0). The corresponding estimate for the civilian, noninstitutionalized population based on summing the weights found in the variable WGTSP13 for these 35,999 persons is 305,191,076. Table 3-2.

A positive person-level weight was assigned to all key members of the U.S. civilian, non-institutionalized population for whom MEPS data were collected, representing the corresponding U.S. population in early 20112008. For the Panel 16 13 Round 1 participants, this weight reflects the original household probability of selection for the NHIS, a factor representing the proportion of the 16 NHIS panel-quarter combinations eligible for MEPS, the oversampling of the subgroups described earlier, ratio-adjustment to NHIS national population estimates at the household level, adjustment for non-participation in MEPS at the household or dwelling unit level, and poststratification to U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population estimates obtained from March 2011 2008 CPS data at the family and person levels. For both Panels 15 panels 12 and 16 13 separately person-level poststratification reflected population distributions across census region, MSA status, race/ethnicity (Hispanic, black/non-Hispanic, Asian, other), sex, and age. (As mentioned above, the initial weight used in the Panel 12, Round 3 weighting incorporated a poststratification of the Panel 12, Round 1 weights to March 2007 CPS population control figures reflecting the 2006 NHIS population distribution on insurance status (private, other) and age (<65, 65+), possible since Panel 12 MEPS respondents are associated with a 2006 NHIS responding household.) Finally, a composite weight was assigned to each responding person and a final poststratification was undertaken across the variables of census region, MSA status, race/ethnicity, sex, and age. Table 3-2 shows the number of persons with person weights for each of the two panels separately, as well as the combined total and the total population estimate represented by the weighted total for all persons with person-level weights. In terms of numbers of persons, there are 15,043 12,917 for Panel 1512, Round 3 and 20,956 20,609 for Panel 1613, Round 1. Thus, in total, there are 35,999 33,526 sample persons in the file with positive person-level weights (WGTSP13>0). The corresponding estimate for the civilian, noninstitutionalized population based on summing the weights found in the variable WGTSP13 for these 35,999 33,526 persons is 305,191,076298,215,355.

In addition, MEPS population estimates underwent some “discontinuities” due to adjustments made to from the CPS into the poststratification component of PIT weighting. CPS estimates began reflecting 2010 census based data in 2012, and the March 2012 CPS data serves as the basis for the 2011 MEPS weight calibration efforts. An article discussing the impact of this transition on CPS estimates can be found at xxx.xxx.xxx/xxx/xxx00xxx.xxx. Use of the updated population controls will have a noticeable effect on estimated totals for some population subgroups. The article compares some 2011 CPS estimates for those aged 16 and older “as published” with those that would have been generated had the updated population controls been used. Among the more notable increases were for the following subgroups: those aged 55 or older (about 1.3 million more, a 1.7 percent increase); those aged 16-24 (about a half million more, a 1.4 percent increase); Blacks (400 thousand more, a 1.4 percent increase); Hispanics (1.3 million more, a 3.8 percent increase); and Asians (1.2 million more, a 10 percent increase). Corresponding changes can be anticipated for MEPS estimates as of 2003 (CPS being the source of the control figures used for raking and poststratification in MEPS).
