Dear all, Does anyone know how I may compare two proportions drawn from a variable in a weighted survey? The svy command I understand is not available for prtest. Is there a work-around that allows one to incorporate survey design effects/weights?
As Steve Samuels notes, prtest can test a lot of different hypotheses. Depending on the hypothesis, I believe svy:logit could be appropriate, e.g. if y and x are both 0/1 dichotomies,
svy: logit y xIf the coefficient for x is not significant, the proportions do not differ across the two categories of x.
