Redmine Understanding Society User Support - Support #504 (Closed): Svy Commands on Statahttps://iserredex.essex.ac.uk/support/issues/5042016-02-15T15:23:12ZAlex Best
<p>Hi there,</p>
<p>I am using Wave C in my dissertation and I've read that because Understanding Society's Dataset is so complex, I need to use svy commands on stata to account for this. However, when I do this, I get no standard errors, t values, p values, or confidence intervals. I have used the following command:</p>
<p>svyset c_psu [pweight=c_indscub_xw], strata(c_strata)</p>
<p>and then I put svy: reg y x1 x2 <br />However, it doesn't work and I am not sure why. <br />Note: 87 strata omitted because they contain no population members.<br />Note: Missing standard errors because of stratum with single sampling unit.</p>
<p>Does the above mean I need to do this:<br />svyset c_psu [pweight=c_indscub_xw], strata(c_strata) singleunit(scaled)<br />then drop alll 87 strata that have been omitted and then do my regressions by putting svy: first??</p>
<p>Thanks in advance,</p>
