Correction:

2. The sampling was done in three stages within STATE (the stratum variable): County, School, and Person. The probability of selecting persons could vary within the same school, hence the sampling weights are not constant within School.

Hello,

has anyone an explanation why the sampling weights of a two stage sample
(PSU county, SSU class) varies within a class of the stata demonstration file? The variable sampwgt in the
demo data file (multistage.dta) is not constant within county, class. Is this an error in the file, the manual or
do I miss something?
