It introduces the target population of the Starting Cohort and the sampling design applied. Furthermore, the composition of the gross and the net samples of the different waves are detailed. The derivation of the sampling weights is described. This includes the computation of the design weights and the accordant nonresponse adjustments. In this context, the selectivity due to nonresponse and attrition is inquired into. This article concludes with a summary of the design variables and sampling weights as well as some comments regarding the usage of sampling weights in statistical analysis.
