Unfortunately, no. However, there is a workaround which should solve 
Holly's problem. There was a thread on this subject on Statalist in March 
2004, and the workaround (thanks to Jeff Pitblado) can be found on the 
Statalist Archive on

http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2004-03/msg00894.html

The trick is to wrap your command (with weights) in a program which does 
not have any weights of its own but which uses them internally to call the 
command you really wanted to use with -statsby-.

I hope this helps.
