doing it that way doesn't apply the weights, right? i thought you had to use the prefix "svy:" to apply the survey settings.
in which case, table doesn't work with svy...

Subject: Re: st: Finding median when using svy
As an example, to get the median age by sex, you can use the 'table'
command.
nhanes3 dataset available at
http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/~statdata/statdata/stat-logistic.html
use nhanes3.dta
svyset [pweight= wtpfhx6], strata(sdpstra6) psu(sdppsu6)
table hssex, c(median hsageir count hsageir) row

I'm using household survey data and using the svyset settings.
I can't figure out how to find the median value of a variable while
using svy:
I can theoretically use:
svy: tab variable
but my dataset is way to big and the variable has way to many values to
attempt this.
Any suggestions?
