Re: st: Issue with 'bsweights'

[Owen Gallupe <ogallupe@gmail.com>]

Oh! I see now. Somehow I had convinced myself (even after reading your
article) that the 'nosvy' option wasn't appropriate in that situation.
I now run the following and it appears to work nicely.

bsweights bsw, reps(2000) n(-1) seed(22222) nosvy
svyset sch [pw=wgt], vce(bootstrap) bsrweight(bsw*)
svy: reg dv var1 var2 var3

Thanks!

Owen
