What kind of studies need to use fpc? Enumerative versus analytical studies

[Jeanne Kelly Ruiz]

Hi everybody

I am using the large household survey (GEIH) conducted by the DANE in Colombia (with around 60.000 observations). This is a survey by probabilistic sampling, multistage, stratified, of unequal conglomerates and self-weighting.

My objective is to analyse some of the determinants of the labor satisfaction (with a binary response). My doubt is if I should use the survey command with fpc or can I run a probit arguing that the study is analytical and not enumerative?

I would really appreciate your answer.

Jeanne, you posted in the Sandbox, which the forum for making practice posts. Because of that, very few people look here. Questions like yours should go in the General Forum.

However the answer is clear to me. Another word for an enumerative study is a "descriptive" study. Yours is clearly analytic as you are assessing association. So, no fpc's and use svy: probit.

I look forward to seeing your posts in the General Forum.
