Request for recommended resources on managing imbalanced sample sizes and response weighting

[Dr Apurva Shukla]

Respected group members,

Namaskar.

I am writing this email to gain insight into a new concept that I recently encountered. I wish to deepen my understanding of rigorous techniques that can be used when there is a difference in respondent count between two different groups or countries, especially post-stratification, raking, and trimming for addressing such imbalances through response weighting.

Could you kindly suggest additional high-quality study material in the following areas:

1. Published work or articles that illustrate practical weighting workflows (preferably cross-national context, if possible).

2. YouTube videos that demonstrate the use of software for implementing ranking or rim weighting step by step, and any curated playlist that emphasises diagnostic checks, such as effective sample size calculation after weights are applied.

3. If there are any institutional repositories, online workshops or datasets that pair and provide weighted output for practice, those references would be invaluable as well.

Looking forward to your guidance.

Thank you so much.

With Regards

Dr. Apurva Shukla
