st: RE: -svyset-, weights, and NLSY
I have a coworker struggling with some of the same issues with the NLSY, so count me interested. If anyone has any advice, please reply on the list.
Thanks,

Subject: st: -svyset-, weights, and NLSY
Greetings,
I'm working with the NLSY (National Longitudinal Study of Youth
http://www.bls.gov/nls/nlsy79.htm) and trying to make appropriate
allowances for the complex survey design, taking into account both
weighting and the sample design structure.
To make a long story short, the documentation on this is pretty
terse, and practices in the literature are a bit dicey (e.g., using
weights but ignoring sample structure or design effects; ignoring
weighting and sample structure completely). I'm discovering that
it's a pretty good piece of work to figure out what to do from the
sample design documentation, so I'm taking a stab here hoping someone
in the Stata community might have have worked with the NLSY and
--svyset- and be willing to share some code. I suppose this might be
of sufficiently limited interest that a response off list might make
more sense.
Regards,
