Thanks all!

Joao,
Thanks for your response; that helps a bit. But what I'm trying to get at is how to store the e(b) (i.e. mean values) into a variable [the same way as if I did egen newvar=mean(var), without acct for svy design]. Do you or someone else know how to do this?
Many thanks,
Rebecca

Rebecca,

the svy mean estimates are saved in e(b)

*********begin example*************
webuse highschool, clear
svyset county [pweight=sampwgt], strata(state) vce(linearized)
svy: mean weight, over(sex)
eret li
mat li e(b)
*********end example*************

Sorry but I didn´t understand the second part of your question.

HTH,

Joao Lima

And/or how do i save mean estimates for this that does take the svy pweight into account in the proper manner (if I can't do it with svy: mean)? [I want to then drop people from my dataset but want to have all the state estimates of characteristics saved as variables before doing so].
