This dataset represents a probability survey derived from the 1997–2008 cycles of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). It is intended for use alongside sc and sp1 to illustrate the multi-reference calibration method implemented in the nonprobsampling package.

Usage

data(sp2)

Format

A data frame with 35525 observations and 11 variables:

agecat

Age category (factor with 4 levels: 1 = 55–59, 2 = 60–64, 3 = 65–69, 4 = 70+)

marital

Marital status (factor with 4 levels: 1 = Married Or Living As Married, 2 = Widowed, 3 = Divorced or Separated, 4 = Never Married)

race

Race category (factor with 4 levels: 1 = White, 2 = Black, 3 = Hispanic, 4 = Other)

employment

Employment status (factor with 2 levels: 0 = Not Working, 1 = Working)

diabetes

Diabetes diagnosis indicator (factor with 2 levels: 0 = No, 1 = Yes)

BMI

Body mass index category (factor with 4 levels: "Normal", "Overweight", "Obese", "Morbidly Obese")

smoking

Smoking status (factor with 3 levels: 1 = Never Smoker, 2 = Former Smoker, 3 = Current Smoker)

comorbidity

General comorbidity indicator (factor with 2 levels: 0 = No, 1 = Yes)

wts_sp2

Sampling weights (numeric)

strata_sp2

Stratum identifier for complex survey design (numeric)

psu_sp2

Primary sampling unit identifier for complex survey design (numeric)

Source

Derived from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), 1997–2008 cycles, conducted by the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).

Details

The dataset includes auxiliary variables shared with the nonprobability sample sc, enabling the construction of pseudo-weights to adjust for participation bias. Survey design variables and sampling weights are provided to support design-consistent estimation.
