The -somersd- package can be downloaded from SSC, and can be used to do
rank statistics for clustered and/or sampling-probability weighted data.
There is also a package -scsomersd- which calls the -somersd- package to
do scenario comparisons in rank statistics. Both of these packages
produce confidence intervals, not just P-values. The on-line help for
-somersd- contains references to papers on the subject, published in The
Stata Journal.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes

Frequently I use kwallis, ranksum, or nptrend for testing between
groups, depending on the nature of the variables involved. Stata
doen't support these tests in survey-weighted data.
Are there any equivalent tests to use when comparing weighted data?
Survey-weighted data can use Pearson's chi-square or Wald, but my
understanding is that neither is equivalent.
As background, the weights are inverse probability weights derived
from a propensity score model. I have a cluster variable, but as far
as I know that doesn't matter with non-parametric tests anyhow.
Thanks for any thoughts,
Janet
