If you REALLY do not have the stratum/psu information (as opposed to
someone just leaving it off your file), then you can create a stratum=1
for everyone, and every observation is a single PSU, which you can
generate using the observation number.
However, if your observations are people (rather than households) I
would guess that at a minimum households are the PSU. So I would check
further that perhaps the information exists, but for some reason you
don't have it.
Then use -svy bootstrap

Dear Stata users,
I'd like to boostrap some parameters (elasticities) which I estimate
by means of a function evaluator program (nlsur is the estimation
method). Also, every observation has a different weight because it
represents a different number of households in the population. So, I
thought I could use pweights, but this is not allowed by -bootstrap-.
I guess I can't use -svy bootstrap- either because I don't have
information on clusters nor strata.
Do you have any suggestion? I'd greatly appreciate it.
Stefano Verde
