Subject: st: weights from multiple dimensions
I'm pondering over a rather common problem, and am wondering whether
there is a package within Stata to help me do this. I need to reweight
my sample according to income, age and gender of the whole population.
Obviously I can get the population proportions for each combination
(income x age x gender) easily enough and then determine weights from
the proportions in my sample, but this doesn't account for unobserved
combinations when I apply such weights. I understand Stata 9 has some
added post stratification features which may (?) be of use, but I'm
using Stata 8. Can anyone offer any pointers?
