Return to Identifiers variables list

UAUSELPROB is an 8-digit numeric variable. The width in the original DHS files ranges from 4 to 8 spaces; see Comparability.

Description

UAUSELPROB (V033) is an 8-digit variable (in IPUMS-DHS). The DHS Recode Manuals define V033 as follows:

the probability of selection of the ultimate area unit, ignoring the household selection. This variable can be used in conjunction with data for the sample point, such as service availability data.

In other words, UAUSELPROB relates to the probability of selection for the small geographic area (such as an enumeration area), usually congruent with a sampling cluster or primary sampling unit, from which households were then randomly selected for interview.

The width of V033 ranges from a low of 4 to a high of 8 in the original DHS files; see Comparability for further discussion.
