Hello!

I posted a question about the wealth variable in the wealth section of the forum, but it hasn't been answered for a couple of weeks. Part of that question involves weights, and I would like to try to see if I have any luck here. The weight part of that question is as such: we would want to rank individuals' wealth status (hv271) by running a xtile command on the PR file. The code is as follows.

xtile wealth_rank_weight=hv271[aweight=hv012*hv005/1000000]

For the weight purpose, we specified [aweight=hv012*hv005/1000000]; however, as we work on PR, should we instead use [aweight=hv005/1000000]?

Thank you so much for your help!
