Title
[SVY] svymarkout -- Mark observations for exclusion on the basis of
survey characteristics
Syntax
svymarkout [markvar]
Description
svymarkout is a programmer's command that resets the values of markvar to
contain 0 wherever any of the survey-characteristic variables (previously
set by svyset) contain missing values.
svymarkout assumes that markvar was created by marksample or mark; see
[P] mark. This command is most helpful for developing estimation
commands that use ml to fit models using maximum pseudolikelihood
directly, instead of relying on the svy prefix; see [P] program
properties for a discussion of how to write programs to be used with the
svy prefix.
