Dear Moderator,

I would be glad if you can put forward this question:

In "Guide to DHS Statistics", it is not recommended to do weighted analysis if one is attempting regression analysis, but I have come across another point of view that in STATA, if one ignores weight in regression, one can end up having biased estimate and standard errors. According to this website http:// www.cpc.unc.edu/research/tools/data_analysis/statatutorial/s ample_surveys/weight_syntax, sampling and analytical weights are recommended.

Thanks
Owais Raza.
