I know that pweight weights the data by the inverse of the probability of being sampled. I have been able to therefore calculate the necessary weight. Unfortunately, I have reviewed several sources (including the STATA reference manual and user guide) and have been unable to actually determine the mechanics of how to actually use this weight.
