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 x
If the coefficient for x is not significant, the proportions do not
differ across the two categories of x.
