st: regression (or anova) using variable that requires harmonic meanto get the average

[Jose Maria Pacheco de Souza <jmpsouza@usp.br>]

Hello Statapeople:
this is a mixture of Stata and statistical question:
I want to compare two groups, let's say vargroup, with values 0 and 1;
the response variable measured in each individual is weight daily, say 
growth= grams/days.
May I execute simply an Anova (oneway growth, by(vargroup)) or regress 
growtbh vargroup to compare just the ordinary means or I must elaborate 
more and compare the weighted harmonic means, using as weights the grams 
for each people? Uf so, how can I conduct the analysis using Stata?
Thank you for any advice.
Cheers,
Jose Maria
