Rebecca,
You can use the -svmat- command to create a variable from a matrix. From
the examples given previously
webuse highschool, clear
svyset county [pweight=sampwgt], strata(state) vce(linearized)
svy: mean weight, over(sex)
matrix means = e(b)
matrix list means
svmat means // <-- This line creates two new variables
I hope this is helpful.
