Thank you all for your help. Further research revealed, as Steve put
it, standard significance tests (t-test, chi2) does not apply to the
evaluation of nonresponse weights since they are based on the same
sample, so it is good that Stata does not have this procedure! My
confusion was that some published work used this method previously.
In this case, I will rather calculate standardised bias for this
purpose (for those who are interested see Vehovar 2007; Kreuter et al,
2010).
