Anyone know how to draw a random sample by hhid? I want to
draw a random sample at the household level, such that it
keeps everyone in the household. I would like a one percent
sample of households. So if I have 100 households but 500
individuals, I would like for it to keep 1 household (that
is all the members that belong to that 1 household).
My data looks like this.
Person hhid age
Luis 1 30
Nancy 1 35
Joe 1 32
Bren 2 15
Jane 2 9
Linda 3 11
Tom 3 65
Thanks,
Marilyn.
