Hello,

In the DHS user fora I've read, I have seen people use both the svyset and the weight commands in stata to analyze DHS data. For instance, I have seen both of the following:

tab var1 var2 [iweight=dweight], row
svy: tab var1 var2

Could you comment on the difference between these commands and when it is appropriate to use each?

Many thanks!
