Subject   st: Using mi estimate with xtmixed and accounting for sampling weights

Hi everyone,

I am attempting to estimate a two-level model with a random intercept.
I am using xtmixed. My data was also imputed, using MI ICE. I now have
10 imputed datasets. Lastly, I am trying to include sampling weights
at both levels of the model. So basically I need to include sampling
weights in a two-level model estimated on imputed data.

The problem: When I perform the analysis (syntax below), it runs fine
on the original data.  It also runs when I use an if statement to run
the analysis on only one of the imputed datasets. However, when I try
to use mi estimate as a prefix, the model does not run. Is there some
incompatibility between mi estimate and using pweights in xtmixed?
Does anyone know why this is occurring?

Thanks!


Syntax That Does Not Work:

mi estimate: ///
