R: st: Comparing weighted and unweighted distributions via Chi2 test

["Carlo Lazzaro" <carlo.lazzaro@tin.it>]

Dear Duru,
I have just downloaded Pfeffermann's paper mentioned by Stas at:

http://www.stat.iastate.edu/seminars/abstracts/seminars2006-2007/VIGRE_Surve
y_16Apr07.pdf

Kindest Regards and thanks to Stas for quoting,
Carlo

If you kind find this paper, it will be quite useful:
http://www.citeulike.org/user/ctacmo/article/1036965. Pfeffermann is
one of few statisticians who is aware of Hausman (1978) test that just
celebrated a third of a century... think about the time for good ideas
to diffuse from one discipline to another. This is the test that's
directly applicable to your case, but Stata is reluctant to run it
with weighted data, so you'd have to find ways to force it to perform
it.
