2004 Survey of Consumer Finances
Replicate Weight Files
For many purposes, one must consider the sampling error of SCF
estimates. However, because detailed information on the sample design
cannot be released, and because of the complexity of the SCF design,
users cannot apply some of the standard procedures for
variance estimation. A set of sample replicates has been created with
bootstrap techniques and analysis weights have been computed
independently for each replicate. Analysts may use these weights to
make approximate estimates of sampling variance. Replicate weights
corresponding to X42001 are available. See the
codebook for more details. When uncompressed and restored to a V9.1.3
engine SAS data set, each file requires 49.6 MB of disk space.
WARNING: Some browser versions will download these files in
unzipped form; the resulting
PROC CPORT transport file will require 41.7 MB of disk space, the resulting
PROC COPY transport file will require 47.6 MB of disk space, and the
resulting Stata file will require 22 MB of disk space.
