The weight influences the estimated coefficients but not the 
predicted value. You can think of the weight as determining
how much value is attached to an observation's deviation of 
the predicted value from the observed value. So once you 
have estimated a model with a given set of weights, any
alternative set of weights will not influence the predicted
values. 

Hope this helps,
