Weighting

Weighting is a statistical adjustment applied to survey data to ensure that results accurately represent the target population. Weights compensate for differences in selection probability, nonresponse, and population characteristics. As a leader in cutting-edge survey research, RTI uses weighting procedures to improve the validity and reliability of survey findings.
