GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
The household weight can correct just for sample bias, or also for non-sampling errors (such as response bias and adjustment to population distribution). In many cases, the weight is a population weight, which means that the weight will inflate the result to reflect the total population.
We strongly recommend that all statistical analysis be performed using the data weights

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
2 weight variables were provided with Jordan 2006 Household data; wts1 and wts. Compared to 2002 data, wts variable will be kept to weigh the data, since it is the one merged to the rest of the data files provided within the same data set as well (food, non-food, ….).
