Research direction

Start with Indicators/Reduced-coping-strategy-index/rCSI-indicator.sps and rCSI-indicator.do, then compare their rCSI weights with the linked guidelines. Confirm which meal variables should receive each weight, correct the inconsistent computation or description, and remove the duplicate rCSIMealNb label. Done means both files consistently reflect the supported formula and labels.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The SPSS and Stata are using the following weights:

rCSI=(rCSILessQlty * 1) + (rCSIBorrow* 2) + (rCSIMealNb * 1) + (rCSIMealSize * 3) + (rCSIMealAdult * 1) while the description in the SPSS refers as

(rCSILessQlty * 1) + (rCSIBorrow* 2) + (rCSIMealNb * 1) + (rCSIMealSize * 1) + (rCSIMealAdult * 3)

The following guidelines follow the instruction as in the SPSS description
