Hi,

My query is clarification of this one. In Stata I used the following commands to survey set my data:

gen wgt = v005/1000000
svyset v021 [pweight = wgt], strata(v023)


But I found this thread and thought maybe I should create a new strata variable:

egen strata = group(v024 v025)

This produces a different variable from v023 with separate groups for the rural and urban aspects of each state, which v023 doesn't have.
Could you clarify which one I should use please?

Many thanks!

Kathryn
