Hello all,
This is both a little statistics, a little programming....
I am using svytab to look at different proportions of a 4 value
category by an indicator variable:
svytab dummy cat4, row se
------------------------------
1 2 3 4
0 a b c d
1 e f g h
------------------------------
test a==e, etc...
I would like to test whether or not the row proportions for each
category of cat4 are significant from the opposite by indicator. I
assume I can do this using the standard error, but am unsure of how to
code this. The e(b) matrix returned is the cell proportions, not the
row proportions, so I cannot use a -matrix get- without extra steps.
Also, I wanted to make sure there were not survey design caveats that
would come into play that would _not_ be reflected in the calculated
proportion standard error.
Any suggestions, warnings, or simple explanations welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Daniel Egan
