Cumul with pweights

[Deepti Goel]

Dear Stata Expert,
I would like to use STATA's cumul command with pweights. However, the command only allows use of fweights and aweights.
I know what I have is sampling weights and not analytical weights. How do I overcome this issue? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Why are pweights relevant ciompared to the other types of weights? You are not deriving standard errors. With -cumul-, you are in effect deriving cumulative sums across a variable with cases ranked in ascending order of that variable (broadly speaking)

Thankyou Prof Jenkins for engaging with my question.
Yes, I am not deriving standard errors. My only objective is to get the population cdf using sample data.

I have two follow up questions given your response:
1) My understanding is I need to incorporate weights to get the population picture. Please confirm this
2) In STATA, if I use cumul command and using weights is needed for getting the population picture, do I then specify my weight variable as fweight or aweight
(since these are the only two options with cumul command)?

Thank you for your engagement and time.

If your weights are non-integer, you'll have to use aweights

Thank you for your time and consideration Prof. Jenkins.
