Description

I am messaging with a question regarding weights. I am using data from the indresp files from waves 1 to 9 of the UKHLS. I have specified the survey design in STATA at the outset as follows:
      svyset psu [pweight = i_indinus_lw], strata(strata) singleunit(scaled)

I have two questions:
  • I am using OLS regressions for each wave of data and random effects for the pooled sample. For the OLS regressions I am using [pweight=psnenus_xd] for each wave. Is this correct?
  • I receive the message 'weights are not allowed' when I try to use weights when running random effects models. Because I have specified the survey design at the outset using i_indinus_lw as the appropriate weight, is this ok?

Thanks,
Michael
