Common use of MEPS Panel 14 Weight Clause in Contracts

MEPS Panel 14 Weight. The person-level weight for MEPS Panel 14 was developed using the 2009 full year weight for an individual as a “base” weight for survey participants present in 2009. For key, in-scope members who joined an RU some time in 2010 after being out-of-scope in 2009, the initially assigned person-level weight was the corresponding 2009 family weight. The weighting process included an adjustment for nonresponse over Rounds 4 and 5 as well as raking to population control figures for December 2010. These control figures were derived by scaling back the population totals obtained from the March 2011 CPS to correspond to a national estimate for the civilian noninstitutionalized population provided by the Census Bureau for December 2010. 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. The final weight for key, responding persons who were not in-scope on December 31, 2010 but were in-scope earlier in the year was the person weight after the nonresponse adjustment.
