Hi all,
I have had a hard time finding an exact answer to this question and was hoping someone could fill in the blank. Specifically, what is the appropriate weight to use for Census Public Use Microdata when running regressions in STATA? I've never been able to find consistency (ie, I've seen pweight, fw, and aweight used). This pertains to regression analysis with PUMS data, where the person weight is pwgtp, or the housing weight is wgtp.
Thanks,
Justin
