Re: st: R: Estimating the number of workers in each industry in each district - flag: Stata 9/2 SE

Arka-

I can't answer  without more information about the sampling design.
Please describe the design in detail, including answers to the
following questin..

1. Were all districts in the target population included in the sample?
Or, were districts sampled?

2. Are the final sampling weights the probability sampling weights? Or
was there adjustment to the probabilithy weights (post-stratification,
"raking")  so that the sample results will better reflect population
census proportions? If the weights are so adjusted,  are the original
sampling weights available to you?
