2015 SURVEY AND DIARY OF CONSUMER PAYMENT CHOICE
WEIGHTING PROCEDURE
(Marco Angrisani, USC, 2/1/2016)

1. Sample Selection
The UAS is a panel of US households recruited through Address Based Sampling (ABS). Eligible
individuals are all adults in the contacted household aged 18 and older. The UAS also includes a
special purpose sample of Native Americans, recruited through ABS, targeting zip-codes with a
higher proportion of Native Americans. In this case, eligible individuals are all adults in the
contacted household aged 18 and older, whose ethnicity is Native American. Another special
purpose sample includes families with young children in Los Angeles County.
For the 2015 Survey of Consumer Payment Choice (SCPC) and Diary of Consumer Payment
Choice (DCPC), all UAS members were selected with the exception of those belonging to the
special purpose sample of families with young children in Los Angeles County. The selection
procedure was carried out in two steps. In the first step, panel members were asked about their
willingness to participate in a two-phase study consisting of the SCPC and the DCPC. In the second
step, those who consented were invited to take the SCPC first and then the DCPC at designated
dates. The SCPC was fielded on October 6, 2015. The fielding period for the DCPC was defined
accordingly to run from October 13, 2015 to December 17, 2015.
The number of UAS members available at the time of the sample selection (October 2015) was
2,264, of which 2,140 were part of the Nationally Representative core sample (NR) and 124 were
part of the Native American special purpose sample (NA). The consent form was filled in by 1,482
respondents, of which 1,291 (1,211 NR; 80 NA) consented to participate in the two-phase study
and 191 (179 NR; 12 NA) did not. Hence, the overall response rate for the consent form was 65%,
with an overall consent rate of 57%. Among the 1,291 who were willing to participate in the twophase study, 1,264 (1,184 NR; 80 NA) took the SCPC and 1,248 (1,168 NR; 80 NA) completed
the survey. Among the 1,264 who took the SCPC, 1,132 (1,064 NR; 68 NA) also took the DCPC.
On November 23, 2015, we invited another 701 UAS members from the NR core sample who had
not answered the consent form to take the SCPC. Upon completion of the SCPC, these respondents
were asked whether they would be willing to take a 3-day diary. Among these UAS members, 165

1

answered the SCPC (159 completed the survey) and 23 took the DCPC on designated dates. 1
Overall, 1,429 UAS members took the SCPC (1,349 NR; 80 NA) and 1,155 (1,087 NR; 68 NA)
took the DCPC.
Upon completion of the DCPC, a sample of 652 UAS members was invited to take a second diary.
This sample was selected to be nationally represented along the gender, race, age and household
income dimensions. 2 The fielding period for the second DCPC was determined to run from
November 15, 2015 to December 17, 2015 and a minimum gap of two weeks between the first and
the second DCPC was required for each respondent. Out of the 652 UAS selected respondents,
516 took the second DCPC. Hence, the total number of diaries from UAS members was 1,671
(1,586 NR; 85 NA).
The SCPC/DCPC sample was complemented with respondents from Qualtrics and GfK.
Specifically, 253 Qualtrics members were invited to participate in the two-phase study. Of these,
105 answered the SCPC (98 completed the survey) and 85 took the DCPC.
A total of 818 GfK members were invited to participate in the two-phase study. Of these, 504
answered the SCPC (450 completed the survey) and 357 took the DCPC. The GfK sample received
the SCPC on November 25, 2015. As a result, the DCPC fielding period for the GfK was
determined to run from December 4, 2015 to December 17, 2015. Table 1 below summarizes the
sample compositions for the 2015 SCPC and DCPC.

Since DCPC assignment was conditional on completion of the SCPC and these respondents answered the SCPC in
late November/early December, it was only possible (for logistic reasons) to give the DCPC to 28 respondents who
consented.
2
We created 24 strata defined by the interaction of gender, race (white/non-white), age (18-39; 40-55; 56+) and
household income (less than $60,000; $60,000 or more). The sample was selected so that the proportions of these
strata in the sample would match their population counterparts taken from the 2015 Current Population Survey.

2. Weighting Procedure
Sample weights are constructed in two steps. In a first step, a base weight is assigned to each
survey respondent in order to compensate for the disproportionate sampling of Native Americans
in the UAS. In a second step, post-stratification weights are generated to bring the final survey
sample in line with the reference population as far as the distribution of key variables of interest is
concerned. Different sets of weights are produced for different combinations of samples: UAS +
Qualtrics + GfK, UAS only, UAS + GfK, GfK only.

2.1. Categorization and imputation of variables
As far as the UAS sample is concerned, we use demographic information taken from the most
recent “My Household” survey, which is answered by the respondent every quarter. Qulatrics
respondents were administered the “My Household” survey before taking the SCPC/DCPC. With
the exception of age and number of household members, all other socio-demographic variables in
the “My Household” survey are categorical and some, such as education and income, take values
in a relatively large set. We recode all the variables used in the weighting procedure into new
categorical variables with no more than 5 categories. The aim of limiting the categories is to
prevent these variables from forming strata containing a very small fraction of the sample (less
than 4-5%), which may cause sample weights to exhibit considerable variability. The
categorization of variables used for the weighting procedure follows the same definitions adopted
for the 2014 SCPC, in order to ensure comparability across years. The list of recoded categorical
variables used in the weighting procedure is reported in Table 2.

1. <$30,000; 2. $30,000-$59,999; 3. $60,000-$99,999; 4. $100,000+

hhincome_cat2

1. <$35,000; 2. $35,000-74,999; 3. $75,000+

Before implementing the weighting procedure, we employ the following imputation scheme to
replace missing values of recoded socio-demographic variables.
•

We do not impute gender. Hence, respondents with missing gender are not assigned a
sample weight. No respondent in the 2015 SCPC and DCPC samples has missing gender.

•

When actual age is missing, the variable agerange, available in the “My Household”
survey, is used to impute age_cat. If agerange is also missing, the variable age_cat is
assigned the mode for males or females, depending on the respondent’s gender.

•

For binary indicators, such as bornus, citizenus, and hisplatino, missing values are imputed
using a logistic regression.

•

For ordered categorical variables, such as education_cat, hhmembers_cat, hhincome_cat
and hhincome_cat2, missing values are imputed using an ordered logistic regression.

•

For non-ordered categorical variables, such as marital_cat, race_cat and work_cat,
missing values are imputed using a multinomial logistic regression.

Imputations are performed sequentially. That is, once age_cat has been imputed (if missing), the
variable with the smallest number of missing values is the first one to be imputed by means of a
regression featuring gender and age_cat as regressors. This newly imputed variable is then added
to the set of regressors to impute the variable with the second smallest number of missing values.
The procedure continues in this fashion until the variable with the most missing values (typically
household income) is imputed using information on all other socio-demographic variables.
The final 2015 SCPC and DCPC data sets contain a binary variable, imputation_flag, indicating
whether any of the recoded socio-economic variables listed in Table 2 has been imputed.
4

As far as the GfK sample is concerned, the following demographic variables were directly
provided by GfK and no value was imputed: gender, age, race, ethnicity, education, number of
household members and household income.

2.2. Step 1: Base Weights
In this first step, a base weight is assigned to each respondent to adjust for the disproportionate
stratification of Native Americans in the UAS and, therefore, in the entire SCPC and DCPC
𝑠𝑠
𝑠𝑠
samples. Let 𝑓𝑓𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛−𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛
and 𝑓𝑓𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛
, be the relative frequencies of non-Native Americans and
𝑝𝑝

𝑝𝑝

Native Americans in the survey sample, respectively, and 𝑓𝑓𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛−𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛 and 𝑓𝑓𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛 , the relative

frequencies of non-Native Americans and Native Americans in the Census population,
respectively. For a respondent i, the base weight is defined as:

𝑤𝑤𝑖𝑖,𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏 =

𝑝𝑝

⎧𝑓𝑓𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛−𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛 if i is not Native American
⎪𝑓𝑓 𝑠𝑠
⎨
⎪
⎩

𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛−𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛
𝑝𝑝
𝑓𝑓𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛
if i is Native American
𝑠𝑠
𝑓𝑓𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛

The final SCPC and DCPC data sets include base weights relative to their sample mean. That is:
𝑤𝑤𝑖𝑖,𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏
,
𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑖,𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏 =
1
�𝑁𝑁 ∑𝑁𝑁
𝑤𝑤
�
𝑖𝑖=1 𝑖𝑖,𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏
where N is the survey sample size.

These relative base weights, average to 1 and sum to the survey sample size N. Base weights are
not produced whenever sample weights refer to the GfK sample only.

2.3. Step 2: Post-stratification Weights
The execution of the sampling process for a survey is typically less than perfect. Even if the sample
of panel members invited to take a survey is representative of the population along a series of
dimensions, the sample of actual respondents may exhibit discrepancies because of differences in
response rates across groups and/or other issues related to the fielding time and content of the
survey. A second layer of weighting is therefore needed to align the final survey sample to the
reference population as far as the distribution of key variables is concerned. In this second step,
we perform iterative marginal weighting and assign survey respondents weights such that the

5

weighted distributions of specific socio-demographic variables in the survey sample match their
population counterparts (benchmark or target distributions).
The benchmark distributions against which the 2015 SCPC and DCPC are weighted are derived
from the Current Population Survey (CPS) Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC)
administered in March of 2015. The reference population is the U.S. population of those aged 18
and older, excluding institutionalized individuals and military personnel.

We adopt a raking algorithm to generate post-stratification weights. This procedure involves the
comparison of target population relative frequencies and actually achieved sample relative
frequencies on a number of socio-demographic variables independently and sequentially. More
precisely, starting from the base weights as described in section 2.2, at each iteration of the
algorithm weights are proportionally adjusted so that the distance between survey and population
marginal distributions of each selected socio-demographic variable (or raking factor) decreases.
The algorithm stops when survey and population distributions are perfectly aligned. A maximum
of 50 iterations is allowed for perfect alignment of survey and population distributions to be
achieved. If the process does not converge within 50 iterations, no sample weights are returned
and attempts using different raking factors are made.

2.4. Trimming
Our raking algorithm trims extreme weights in order to limit variability and improve efficiency of
estimators. We follow the general weight trimming and redistribution procedure described by
Valliant, Dever and Kreuter (2013). Specifically, indicating with 𝑤𝑤𝑖𝑖,𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟 the raking weight for
respondent i and with 𝑤𝑤
� 𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟 =
I.

∑𝑁𝑁
𝑖𝑖=1 𝑤𝑤𝑖𝑖,𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟 the sample average of raking weights,

We set the lower and upper bounds on weights equal to 𝐿𝐿 = 0.25𝑤𝑤
� 𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟 and
𝑈𝑈 = 4𝑤𝑤
� 𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟 , respectively. While these values are arbitrary, they are in line with those
described in the literature and followed by other surveys (Izrael, Battaglia and Frankel,
2009).

We reset any weights smaller than the lower bound to L and any weights greater than the
upper bound to U:

𝑤𝑤𝑖𝑖,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 = �𝑤𝑤𝑖𝑖,𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟

𝑤𝑤𝑖𝑖,𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟 ≤ 𝐿𝐿
𝐿𝐿 < 𝑤𝑤𝑖𝑖,𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟 < 𝑈𝑈
𝑤𝑤𝑖𝑖,𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟 ≥ 𝑈𝑈

We compute the amount of weight lost by trimming as 𝑤𝑤𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙 = ∑𝑁𝑁
𝑖𝑖=1 𝑤𝑤𝑖𝑖,𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑔𝑔 − 𝑤𝑤𝑖𝑖,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡
and distribute it evenly among the respondents whose weights are not trimmed.

While raking weights can match population distributions of selected variables, trimmed weights
typically do not. We therefore iterate the raking algorithm and the trimming procedure until a set
of post-stratification weights is obtained that respect the weight bounds and align sample and
population distributions of selected variables. This procedure stops after 50 iterations if an exact
alignment respecting the weight bounds cannot be achieved. In this case, the trimmed weights will
ensure the exact match between survey and population relative frequencies, but may take values
outside the interval defined by the pre-specified lower and upper bounds.

2.5. Final Post-stratification Weights
Indicate with 𝑤𝑤𝑖𝑖,𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝 the post-stratification weight for respondent i, obtained by applying the raking

algorithm to the base weights and after iterating the raking algorithm and the trimming procedure
as described above in section 2.4.

The final 2015 SCPC and DCPC data sets include post-stratification weights relative to their
sample mean. That is:
𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑖,𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝 =
where N is the survey sample size.

,

These relative post-stratification weights, average to 1 and sum to the survey sample size N.

3. Produced Sample Weights
We produce different sets of weights, depending on the sub-samples considered within the SCPC
and DCPC as well as on the reference period (e.g., the entire fielding period, a specific month,
diary days).

7

With the exception of daily weights for the DCPC, all weights for the 2015 SCPC and DCPC are
generated using the following set of raking factors:
 gender x race_cat
 gender x age_cat
 gender x education_cat
 hhmembers_cat x hhincome_cat

The same set of raking factors was adopted to produce sample weights for the 2014 SCPC. Under
this specification, both the raking and the trimming algorithms converge within the maximum
number of allowed (50) iterations.
Because of the limited number of respondents taking the diary at specific days, daily weights for
the DCPC are generated using a reduced set of raking factors, namely:
 gender x age_cat2
 education_cat
 hhincome_cat2

Under this specification, the raking algorithm converges within the maximum number of allowed
(50) iterations. We do not apply trimming to daily weights.
The complete list of weights and auxiliary variables provided with the final 2015 SCPC and DCPC
data sets is reported below.
