Hi,
I am confused using sample weight in bivariate analysis. Is it we need to use weight in chi-square test? or we just can test without using sample weight? I am using 'tabout' command in stata and when I am using sample weight in chi-square test the value of chi2 goes down and the value of chi2 is pretty high without weight. I am asking which one is appropriate when we do chi2 test in bivariate analysis?
Thank you!
