The depositor recommends that only expert users who are very familiar with the coding and weighting structures use these data, as limited support is available. Some considerable understanding of the data is required before meaningful analyses can be made; care must be taken when performing time series operations as codes can vary from year to year and not all variables from one year's dataset are used in other years. The data cover four subject areas, termed 'Airmiles', 'Alcohol', 'Qregtown' and 'Qcontact'. One file is produced each quarter per subject area, and the dataset updated quarterly. These files can be joined together using the variables YEAR, SERIAL, FLOW and QUARTER. Weighting the IPS ONS advise that the variable 'fweight' included in the 'Qcontact' dataset should be applied to get an overall weighted profile. This weight is set consistently overtime. Other weights are provided to analyse finer detail but no information is provided in the documentation. ONS are currently reviewing the documentation but in the meantime if users have any detailed weighting questions they should contact the ONS at socialsurveys@ons.gov.uk. The original deposit of this dataset was made in August 2006, and contained data from the first quarter (January-March 2006). Subsequent editions were updated in conjunction with successive quarters of IPS, until the fourth edition (May 2007) which contained data from the fourth quarter (October-December 2006) and took into account Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) revised estimates of interlining at major UK airports, and new information on spending and numbers of visits from tourists using the Irish land border, an area not covered by the IPS sample. The CAA estimates were further revised for the fifth edition (October 2007), when data files for all four quarters of 2006 were updated. The revised CAA figures have shown much lower levels of interlining than previously estimated and so IPS estimates of visits to and from the UK have generally risen. The information on tourists using the Irish land border was also updated.
