NAEP Technical DocumentationStudent-Level Replicate Weights

The replicate-specific adjusted student base weights were calculated by multiplying the replicate-specific adjusted school weights as described above by the corresponding within-school student weights. That is, the adjusted student base weight for the j^th student in adjustment class k in replicate r was initially computed as:

where = the nonresponse-adjusted school weight for school i in school adjustment class k and replicate r; and = the within-school weight for the j^th student in school i.

The adjustment factor for students in replicate r and adjustment class k was computed as:

where T_k’ = the eligible sampled students in adjustment class k’, and

= the replicate-r base weight of the j^th student in class k’.

The student nonresponse adjusted replicate weights were computed as:
