hi
i have the following output from the survey commands procesure
The psu is a self computed variable based on the number of times
the woman appears in the data set
my question relates to the p value
if i ignore the clustering i get a p value of p<0.001, but with the
clustering i get the output below and a p value of 0.0397, can this
second p value be interpreted as an association between the group
status and education level after adjusting for the the clustering
effect??
comment would be appreciated, i realise that one of the cells does
not have any responses , so a certain amount of amalgamation will
be required
regards
ann
