Hi all,

I have a survey weight that accounts for the non-response rates of the given observations, and the weights sum to the population total. 

I have also a frequency weight that is given in the Dataset to tell Stata how important the observation is. 

If I want to combine these two weights into one single weight by multiplying them together, what will the weight type become? Is it going to be a frequency weight or a probability weight.
