Thank you both for the suggestion on using "replications" as a possible way to get around 'weights' for statistical routines that do not support weights. I had initially entertained similar thoughts but concern with highly significant coefficients that 'inflated' data may lead to have made me refrain from going ahead. I am glad to hear that it can still be used (with some adjustment) as a 'valid' potential approach to inject weights into formal regressions analysis. I will do a few simulations on a sample data and see how it goes. Thanks again for the thoughts and suggestions!
