asdoc sum - does not allow analytical weights

[Cansu Oymak]

Dear Members,

I am dealing with DHS dataset. I have individual sample weight (6 decimals) in my dataset. I have divide it to 1000000. I named it as"wgt"
I try to produce sum stats. When I do this, I use sum x1 x2 x3 .... [aw=wgt]. No problem with that. It gives mt stats.
However when I try to export it to MS word, I use asdoc sum x1 x2....[aw=wgt] it says "aweights" are not allowed. As far as I know, when reporting descriptive stats, you need to use aweights. But, I dont understand why I could not export them

This code works so well: sum bfduration2 survey_year female child_birth_year child_birth_month birthweight mother_age wealth_index rural_urban region5 [aw=wgt]
But this does not: asdoc sum bfduration2 survey_year female child_birth_year child_birth_month birthweight mother_age wealth_index rural_urban region5 [aw=wgt]

Thank you so much.

[William Lisowski]

The asdoc command, a community-contributed command not part of base Stata, in general does not support the use of weights in its subcommands such as asdoc sum.

[Attaullah Shah]

Try the new version of asdoc which can be installed from my site. Copy and paste the following line in Stata and press enter.

net install asdoc, from(http://fintechprofessor.com) replace

Please note that the above line has to be copied in full. After installation of the new version, then restart Stata.

asdoc sum bfduration2 survey_year female child_birth_year child_birth_month ///
birthweight mother_age wealth_index rural_urban region5 [aw=wgt]

asdocx is now available
A more powerful and flexible version of asdoc is now available. I call it asdocx. You may like to check the details here
