# How to calculate sampling weight for small sample?

I have a very small sample size on drowning data of Bangladesh in following way

Now I want to give sampling weight for further analysis. How can I calculate sampling weight for the data? I have information of total population. I have searched in google but didn't get any concrete idea or calculation procedure.

• Your sampling weight should depend on your sample design. How did you design/collect this sample? – RoryT Jul 24 '17 at 2:28
• It is a national, cross-sectional survey with 300,001 respondents interviewed between March and June 2016. It uses a complex sampling strategy based on probability-proportional-to-size (PPS) methodologies with separate urban and rural samples. – Md. Rayhanul Islam Jul 25 '17 at 3:23

Your data set should inherit the sampling weights from your original survey. Moreover, your 113 cases should be analyzed as a domain of your survey (svy, subpop(): whatever), keeping (in the worst case, depending on the specifics of the original design) all 300K observations in your data set. See West, Berglund and Heeringa (2008).
