Re: st: multilevel modeling with svy commands

Dear Ming

  I think your question is very similar to

http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2010-04/msg01317.html

  in which Steve Samuels noted that the -gllamm- command will accept weights (but not 
strata), but you could consider adding the strata variable as a series of dummies to try 
and account for the variance of the strata variable.
I hope that helps,
