st: probability weights and clogit [Stata 8]

["R.E. De Hoyos" <redeho@hotmail.com>]

Statalist,

I am estimating a -clogit- model using complex survey data. While I would 
like to have both unbiased and efficient estimators I know that -clogit- is 
not part of the -svy- commands (at least in Stata 8). To get unbiased 
estimators though it is sufficient to account for the probability weights or 
"expansion factors" of the survey, however -clogit- only supports iweights 
and fweights. I know that aweights can be used as a substitute for pweights 
and still get the correct point-estimators. Is this also the case for 
iweghts within a -clogit- context?

On similar grounds, -clogit- includes for the cluster option (in version 
8.2), if my survey is the outcome of a multiple-stage design, shall I only 
include the PSU as the clusters?

Many thanks,

Rafa

PS. I tried sending this email by starting a new thread rather than replying 
to an old one, but it didn't get through.
