Description

Hi there,

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:

svyset c_psu [pweight=c_indscub_xw], strata(c_strata)

and then I put svy: reg y x1 x2
However, it doesn't work and I am not sure why.
Note: 87 strata omitted because they contain no population members.
Note: Missing standard errors because of stratum with single sampling unit.

Does the above mean I need to do this:
svyset c_psu [pweight=c_indscub_xw], strata(c_strata) singleunit(scaled)
then drop alll 87 strata that have been omitted and then do my regressions by putting svy: first??

Thanks in advance,

Alex

Underneath the regression table it says the following:
