This paper deals with adjustment for nonresponse in dyadic multi-actor survey designs. It presents a multi-dimensional approach to
weighting that addresses the various analytical units represented in such data, so that sampling design weights are correctly accounted
for and so that consistency between weights is achieved. This approach is demonstrated by using the primary respondents in the Divorce
in Flanders study, which is a typical example of a dyadic multi-actor design. Five sets of weighting coefficients are made available
whereby different subsets of data, according to different analytical units, are selected: the subset of the dyads, the subset of men and
women respectively, and two subsets of marriages. Post-stratification – with the year of marriage, status of the reference marriage at the
sampling date and five-year divorce cohort as auxiliary variables – was chosen as the weighting adjustment technique.... view less
