You are not done yet, Veronica, so hang in there a bit longer. The
793 count can only occur only if the same cluster number occurs in more
than one stratum. That should not happen to primary sampling units, so
there is a mistake some place. The practical consequence is that
standard errors will be wrong, because it is the -svyset- number that
counts.
You locate the problems with the following code:
***************************************
preserve
bys cluster w2_gc_dc: keep if _n==1
bys cluster: gen nstrat= _n
tab nstrat //duplicates are nstrat >1
sort cluster
list cluster w2_gc_dc if nstrat>1 //show problem
save problem, replace
restore
*************************************
Send your findings to the survey organization and ask them what is going on.
