Using weights in stata

[Agustin Barrientos]

Hi!

I'm trying to perform a regression analysis in Stata where I need to apply different expansion factors to my dependent and independent variables. Specifically, I want to use the "weight" command but assign distinct expansion factors: one for the dependent variable and another for the independent variables.

I understand that using "weights" applies the same expansion factor to all variables in the regression. How can I assign separate expansion factors—one for the dependent variable and a different one for the independent variables? In particular, I want to use the "fweight" command.

Any guidance or syntax examples on how to achieve this in Stata would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
Agustin.

you don't say what kinds of weights you are talking about, but your use of "expansion factors" leads me to believe that these are frequency weights; if at least one is a frequency weight, then just expand the data and use the other in the standard way; see

h expand

if, however, neither are frequency weights, please read the FAQ and follow its advice on how to ask questions that reduces the need of readers to guess
