Hi,
Firstly, I am unsure on whether to use robust or clustered standard errors for a regression analysis I am doing using DHS data. I always use robust, but in this case, I want to know which one is the better option and why (if possible)?
Secondly, I am doing a multiple country analysis, but I didn't know that you had to assign weights when using DHS data. Now, I don't know how to assign weights after appending the datasets of the countries. Is it necessary to do so? Also, what if I don't use the weights, does it make that much of a difference?
