The weird thing about the solutions in this thread is that they do not
conform to Rebecca`s request to get means accounting for survey weights the
same way -egen, mean()- does for non-weighted data: as a vector over all
observations in the dataset. The easiest solution that I can see is to
employ -svy: regress- and -predict-.

webuse highschool, clear
svyset county [pweight=sampwgt], strata(state) vce(linearized)
// use -regress- to get means
svy linearized: regress weight sex
//see whether adjust matches -mean- results
adjust, by(sex) xb se
//get predictions
predict pred if sex==1, xb
predict female if sex==2, xb
replace pred=female if pred==.
drop female
// get ses
predict se if sex==1, stdp
predict sefemale if sex==2, stdp
replace se=sefemale if se==.
drop sefemale
l sex pred se in 1/10
//compare to -mean-
svy: mean weight, over(sex)

Betreff: RE: st: Saving svy mean estimates?
Joao,
Thanks for your response; that helps a bit. But what I'm trying to get at is
how to store the e(b) (i.e. mean values) into a variable [the same way as if
I did egen newvar=mean(var), without acct for svy design]. Do you or someone
else know how to do this?
Many thanks,
Rebecca

Rebecca,
the svy mean estimates are saved in e(b)
*********begin example*************

svy: mean weight, over(sex)

Sorry but I didn´t understand the second part of your question.

save mean estimates for this that does take the svy pweight into account in
the proper manner (if I can't do it with svy: mean)? [I want to then drop
people from my dataset but want to have all the state estimates of
characteristics saved as variables before doing so].
