Re: st: Combining a survey weight and a frequency weight

I would like to add that the frequency weight is generated by propensity score matching by the psmatch2 command. I found out earlier that this weight is a frequency weight that is to tell how important Stata how important the matched observation is.
I would like to combine this frequency weight and the survey weight when I carry out the analysis on the matched sub-sample.
But I am not sure what the weight type should be.

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.
