  • pweights strata and PSU

    Hi everybody,

    I'm doing a cross-sectional analysis with one wave of a Panel study.
    I weighted my data with

    Code:
    svyset [pweight=d1ca1weight]
    (a combined design and a poststratification weight provided in the Data Manual of the Panel study)

    I never weighed a dataset before so I'm confused: Do I always have to define the strata? And what about the PSU?

    The data Manual doesn't say anything about it.
    Down below my Output after typing svydescribe.

    Code:
    . svydescribe
    
    Survey: Describing stage 1 sampling units
    
          pweight: d1ca1weight
              VCE: linearized
      Single unit: missing
         Strata 1: <one>
             SU 1: <observations>
            FPC 1: <zero>
    
                                          #Obs per Unit
                                  ----------------------------
    Stratum    #Units     #Obs      min       mean      max  
    --------  --------  --------  --------  --------  --------
           1     2,747     2,747         1       1.0         1
    --------  --------  --------  --------  --------  --------
           1     2,747     2,747         1       1.0         1
    Thanks in advance!

    Kind regards,

    I solved it myself, didn't have to do more to svyset the dataset properly, found that in the help dofile provided by the dataset. But I guess that can be different for every dataset.
