I have weighted data but need confidence intervals on the median

I get confidence intervals on the median survival with weighted
data without assuming a parametric model
stset time [pw=weight],fail(fail)

local median=r(p50)
You haven't stated whether the data come from a complex survey. Even
if probability weights are the only design feature, I suggest that
you -svyset- your data. Download -svybsamp2- (resampling for
complex survey data) from SSC, and use it to bootstrap -stsum- .
