NAEP Technical DocumentationComputing Student-Level Replicate Base Weights for the 2006 Assessment

For the 2006 assessment, the calculation of the student-level replicate base weights for student k from school s in stratum j for each of the 62 replicates, STU_BWT_sck(r) r = 1 to 62, were calculated as follows:  

      

where

• SCH_BWT_js(r) is the replicate school base weight;

• SCHSESWT_js is the school-level session assignment weight used in the full-sample weight;

• WINSCHWT_js is the within-school student sampling weight used in the full-sample weight;

• STUSESWT_jsk is the student-level session assignment weight used in the full-sample weight;

• SUBJFAC_js is the subject factor used in the full-sample weight;

• SUBADJ_js is the substitute adjustment factor used in the full-sample weight;

• YRRND_AF_js is the year-round adjustment factor used in the full-sample weight.

These components are described on the Student Base Weights page.
