I am trying to conduct a multi-level model of students (level 1) nested within states (level 2). I am using Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) data, which has a complex sampling structure (for more information see here: http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/data...s_software.pdf)
Using the CDC's recommendations (mentioned above), I set the survey design with the following comman:
svyset psu [pweight=weight], strata(stratum)
Then I try to fit my unconditional multilevel model:
svy: melogit depvar || state: ,
And I get this error:
(running melogit on estimation sample)
survey final weights not allowed with multilevel models;
a final weight variable was svyset using the [pw=exp] syntax, but multilevel
models require that each stage-level weight variable is svyset using the stage's
corresponding weight() option
an error occurred when svy executed melogit
r(459);
Can you help me avoid this error please?
