st: Re: qreg with pweights

[Giulio Zanella <gzstata@tiscali.it>]

Stata (at least version 8) does not allow pweight with several commands. I 
noticed that using aweight produces the same coefficients but inflates 
standard errors (with respect to pweight). If you only want to get an idea 
of the magnitude of the coefficients, aweight will do. Otherwise you have to 
weight observations "manually".
