Analytic weights, -aweights-, are used to represent the cell-means data and,
thus, do not have meaningful interpretation with binary-response data. As
Maarten mentioned, only -fweights-, -iweights-, and -pweigths- may be used
with -logit-. Although never documented, -aweights- were allowed with -logit-
prior to Stata's version 9.1, at which time they were removed because of their
noninterpretability.
