Instructions to Create Family Estimates Sample Clauses

The "Instructions to Create Family Estimates" clause outlines the procedures and requirements for preparing and submitting estimates related to family needs or costs. Typically, this clause specifies the information that must be included in the estimates, such as the number of family members, anticipated expenses, and any supporting documentation required. By providing clear guidelines for the creation and submission of these estimates, the clause ensures consistency, accuracy, and transparency in the estimation process, helping to prevent misunderstandings or disputes over family-related costs.
Instructions to Create Family Estimates. To make estimates at the family level, it is necessary to prepare a family-level file containing one record per family. Each MEPS family unit is uniquely identified by the combination of the variables DUID and FAMID13. Only persons with positive, nonzero family weight values (WGTRU13>0) are candidates for inclusion in family estimates. Following is a summary of steps that can be used for family-level estimation: 1. Concatenate the variables DUID and FAMID13 into a new variable (e.g., DUFAM13). 2. To create a family-level file, sort by DUFAM13 and then subset to one record per DUFAM13 value by retaining only the reference person record (RNDREF13=1) for each value of DUFAM13. If the analyst chooses to eliminate single person units from family analyses, it is also necessary to exclude records where FAMSIZ13=1. If aggregate measures for families are needed for analytic purposes (e.g., means or totals), then those measures need to be computed using person-level information within families and attached to the family record. For other types of variables, analysts frequently use characteristics of the reference person to represent family characteristics. 3. Apply the weight WGTRU13 to the analytic variable(s) of interest to obtain national family estimates.

Instructions to Create Family Estimates. The variable FAMSIZ13 indicates the number of persons associated with a single family unit after students are linked to their associated parent RUs for analytical purposes. Family-level analyses should use the FAMSIZ13 variable. In a few cases, students were deleted from the file because attempts to contact them were unsuccessful, and no data were collected for them. However, these persons are accounted for in the FAMSIZ13 variable. The family size (FAMSIZ13) and the reporting unit (RU) size (RUSIZE13) counts may not be consistent with the count of records on the file. There are some reporting units where the RU size variable (RUSIZE13) is not equal to the number of people in that RU actually included on the file. This occurs because people who did not respond for their entire period of eligibility were not included on the file. In addition, for a number of these reporting units, the reference person is not included on the file for this same reason. The variable RURSLT13 indicates the RU response status for Round 3 for the Panel 16 sample and Round 1 for the Panel 17 sample. The values include the following: 60 Complete with RU member 61 Complete with proxy--all RU members deceased on or after 1/1/2012 62 Complete with proxy--all RU members institutionalized or deceased on or after 1/1/2012 63 Complete with proxy, other There are several other variables that characterize the reporting unit. The variable RUCLAS13 indicates the RU classification. RUs are classified for fielding purposes as 1 “Standard”, 2 “New RU”, or 3 “Student RU”. Standard RUs are the original RUs from NHIS. A new RU is one which has been created when members of the household leave the standard RU and are followed according to the rules of the survey. A student RU is one in which an unmarried college student under 24 years of age is considered a usual member of the household but was living away from home while going to school and was treated as a Reporting Unit (RU) separate from that of their parents for the purpose of data collection. The reference period is the period of time for which data were collected in each round for each person. The reference period dates were determined during the interview for each person by the CAPI program. The round-specific beginning reference period dates are included for each person. These variables include BEGRFD13, BEGRFM13, and BEGRFY13. The reference period for Panel 17 Round 1 for most persons identified at NHIS began on January 1, 2012 and ended on...
