dear statalist,
please help with hopefully simple problem:
imagine that you have 4 variables in your dataset
weight
age
sex
country
in spss if you say "weight by weight" computer will know, that now all
your variables should be multiplied with the variable weight. so in
your computer's "mind" the new dataset will look like:
age*weight
sex*weight
country*weight
in stata there is nothing like that? Do I really need to generate
variables I use with weights each time, like
gen (v1)=v11*w1
THANKS
