Weighting is the process of adjusting the sample data to make it more representative of the population by assigning different weights to different survey respondents. This is done to correct any sampling biases and ensure that the sample is more reflective of the population as a whole. Editing involves checking the survey data for errors and inconsistencies, coding involves assigning numerical codes to data for analysis, and transcribing involves converting spoken or written data into written form. None of these processes address the issue of representativeness in the same way that weighting does.
