No; it's not possible to do that. It is even difficult to know what that would mean. If each x_j should really be a product w_j x_j, then do that calculation before the regression. If you want something else, you might spell out in what ways your idea makes statistical sense.

I'm running simple cross-sectional regressions. I would like to know whether it is possible to make Stata apply a different aweight to each separate explanatory variable.
Usually at the end of the regression I can just write [aweight = exp], but this would apply the same aweight to each explanatory variable. I would like to know whether it's possible to specify a different exp as an aweight for each different explanatory variable, and whether that would make any sense or not.
