Hi,
I am trying to compare demographics between two weighted population surveys: Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and my own survey. I'm not quite sure of the correct approach of doing this since the surveys contain different weights and albeit my survey (stratified random sample) somewhat mimics the survey design of BRFSS (two stage sample design), is a little different. I tried the below syntax but receive an error message stating "estimation sample of the model saved under brfss1 could not be restored." Is there another way to compare estimates between two different surveys?
Thanks for your consideration,
Simone
use brfss2010.dta, clear
svyset _psu [pweight= _finalwt], strata( _ststr)
svy, subpop(age>=50 & !missing(age)): reg male
est store brfss
use crccp.dta, clear
svyset _n [pweight= wtfin], strata(state)
svy, subpop(age>=50 & !missing(age)): reg male
est store crccp
estimates table brfss crccp, star stats(N F)
suest brfss crccp
