Survey Weighting and the Calculation of Sampling Variance
Survey weights were required to analyse PISA 2003 data, to calculate appropriate estimates of sampling error, and to make valid estimates and inferences. The consortium calculated survey weights for all assessed, ineligible and excluded students, and provided variables in the data that permit users to make approximately unbiased estimates of standard errors, to conduct significance tests and to create confidence intervals appropriately, given the sample design for PISA in each individual country.
