st: Can I use “iw” intead of “pw” in quantiles command?

Hi Team,
I’m working with Household income and expenditure data. I want to find 5
quantiles of the per capita income.
I’m using sampling weights. Eg: Following table represent the example for
my weights.
Sampling Unit Weight
1 41.42092
2 224.9696
3 211.7713
4 131.9084
5 160.3988
6 475.2353
7 217.6984
First I installed the user written command : ssc install quantiles
Then use following command for my data.
quantiles ym[pw=s_weight], gen(ym_decile) n(5) k(hh_code)
ym – per capita income variable
ym_decile – new categorical variable
hh_code – Identifying code for each household
But stata says “pw” not allowed for this command. But “iw” is allowed. So my
question is Can I use “iw” intead of “pw” here?
Thank You.
