Re: st: Percentage as dependent variable, using -svy-

Christina M Daw <Christina.M.Daw@uth.tmc.edu> mentioned that the -svy- prefix
does not support the -glm- command, specifically she wrote

In Stata 10, -glm- supports the -svy- prefix.

In Stata 9, Christina can use -glm- with -iweight-s followed by -suest- with
the -svy- option.  Here is an example,

***** BEGIN:
webuse nhanes2f
svyset psuid [pw=finalwgt], strata(stratid)
glm loglead age female [iweight=finalwgt]
suest ., svy
***** END:

This will work with any family/link combination that is allowed by the -glm-
command.
