I am trying to calculate weighted counts in stata for India 2014-15 MR dataset.

1)From my understanding, individual observations when multiplied with weights, should give the count of the actual population.

For example. The total percent of men who have diabetes is 2.13%. Which in the weighted count (table below) shows a value of 2396. However my understanding is that the weighted count must show some 35-million (approx) cases of men who are actually diabetic in India.


2)Also is there any problem in using scaled singleunit for svy instead of "missing"?

3) is there a difference in iweight and pweight?

These are my codes. MRdataset.

generate wgt = mv005/1000000
svyset mv021 [pweight=wgt], strata(mv022) vce(linearized) singleunit(scaled)
recode sm622a (8=0) , gen (CurrentlyDiabetic)

. svy linearized : tabulate mv102 CurrentlyDiabetic, count row percent format(%16.0g)
(running tabulate on estimation sample)

Number of strata = 2508 Number of obs = 112122
Number of PSUs = 9887 Population size = 112122
Design df = 7379

Key: weighted counts
row percentages

Pearson:
Uncorrected chi2(1) = 108.4122
Design-based F(1, 7379) = 23.9928 P = 0.0000

Note: Variance scaled to handle strata with a single sampling unit.
