What is weighting?

Weighting is a statistical method used to adjust the influence of individual data points in a dataset to ensure the results are representative of a target population. It compensates for imbalances in a sample by assigning “weights” to each response or observation, effectively increasing or decreasing its impact on the analysis.

For example:

Key purpose of weighting: Weighting ensures that your analysis reflects the true characteristics of your population, providing accurate, unbiased insights.

Imagine you surveyed 1,000 people:

Weighting FAQs

What is weighting, and why is it important?
Weighting is a statistical method used to adjust data so that it accurately represents a target population. It ensures that over- or under-represented groups in your sample are properly accounted for, eliminating bias and providing reliable insights.

When should I use weighting in my analysis?
You should use weighting whenever your sample does not match the characteristics of your target population. For example, if your sample has more respondents from one demographic group than another, weighting adjusts the data to correct the imbalance.

What types of weighting can I do in Displayr?
Displayr supports multiple types of weighting, including:

  • Post-Stratification Weighting: Adjusts for population characteristics like age or income.
  • Rim Weighting (Raking): Balances multiple variables simultaneously.
  • Design Weighting: Accounts for unequal sampling probabilities.
  • Scaling Weights: Ensures weights sum to a specific total for consistent analysis.
