Hi folks: Any thoughts on this mysterious error msg?
I get the following error...
. svy: reg motivhlthQ25d knowfewprofsQ26a badexperQ26b
(running regress on estimation sample)
fpc for all observations within a stratum must be the same
r(461);
...using this syvset command:
svyset School_Number, poststrata(category)
postweight(categorySchoolsN) singleunit(centered)
fpc(NumSchoolsInCategory)
When I do a crosstab on category and NumSchoolsInCategory, there is
only one NumSchoolsInCategory for any given category, thus fpc values
are identical for all observations in a given stratum--contrary to the
error message. r(461) might also indicate some issues w/ calculating
the variance. I have a minimum N of 36 per category & max 294, so I'd
think variance calculation shouldn't be a problem.
School_Number is an identifier for each school. category is a strata
identifier (subsets of schools with similar characteristics).
categorySchoolsN is the number of students in a given category and
NumSchoolsInCategory is the number of schools in a given category.
There are 8 categories.
