Current Population Survey, August 2000: Internet and Computer Use Supplement

The data contain seven weight variables: Household Weight -- HWHHWGT -- Used for tallying household characteristics.Family Weight -- PWFMWGT -- Used for tallying family characteristics.Longitudinal Weight -- PWLGWGT -- Found only on adult records matched from month to month (used for gross flows analysis). Outgoing Rotation Weight -- PWORWGT -- Used for tallying information collected only in outgoing rotations. Final Weight -- PWSSWGT -- Used for most tabulations, controlled to independent estimates for (1) States; (2) Origin, Sex, and Age; and (3) Age, Race, and Sex. Veteran's Weight -- PWVETWGT -- Used for tallying veteran's data only.Composited Final Weight -- PWCMPWGT -- Used to create BLS's published labor force statistics.There is no supplement weight, so use the basic CPS final weight -- PWSSWGT -- for tallying individuals on the file. Users are strongly encouraged to refer to the User Guide for detailed information on how to use the weights, as well as how they were derived.

本数据集包含7类权重变量，具体说明如下：
1. 住户权重（Household Weight，缩写HWHHWGT）：用于统计住户特征。
2. 家庭权重（Family Weight，缩写PWFMWGT）：用于统计家庭特征。
3. 纵向权重（Longitudinal Weight，缩写PWLGWGT）：仅存在于跨月度匹配的成人记录中，用于总流量分析。
4. 外出轮换权重（Outgoing Rotation Weight，缩写PWORWGT）：用于统计仅在外出轮换组中采集的信息。
5. 最终权重（Final Weight，缩写PWSSWGT）：适用于多数制表统计工作，需基于三类独立估计量进行校准：(1) 各州；(2) 出身地、性别与年龄；(3) 年龄、种族与性别。
6. 退伍军人权重（Veteran's Weight，缩写PWVETWGT）：仅用于统计退伍军人相关数据。
7. 复合最终权重（Composited Final Weight，缩写PWCMPWGT）：用于生成美国劳工统计局（Bureau of Labor Statistics, BLS）公布的劳动力统计数据。
本数据集未配备补充权重，因此统计文件内个体数据时，需使用基础当前人口调查（Current Population Survey, CPS）最终权重PWSSWGT。
强烈建议用户参考《用户指南》，以获取关于权重使用方法及权重推导过程的详细信息。
