I am using 5% Census and March CPS data (United States) to construct
histograms. These data include probability weights. I know that
histogram can adjust for frequency weights, but apparently not
explicitly for probability weights that are not integers. If I
-svyset- the data using the perweight, will -histogram- construct
unbiased estimates of the population? Here is my code
. svyset [perweight=perwt]
. histogram tax, by(white, col(1)) percent
where "tax" is an income tax variable, and the data is
individual-level for the March CPS. For the Census, I use a different
variable isntead of "tax" and the data is household-level instead.
Thanks.
