Sumedha Gupta <[email protected]> sent me a follow-up question, which
I will share here:

Sumedha didn't show us how the data is -svyset-, so I felt I should mention
that -svy: clogit- puts certain restrictions on how the data is -svyset-; most
other -svy- estimation commands do not have this type of restriction.
My comment was a warning to Sumedha that if there is a variable that
identifies the sampling units in the stage just before the 'hhidpn' units are
selected, then that variable must be -svyset-. Also, if individuals were
sampled in the final sampling stage, then 'hhidpn' needs to be -svyset- in
the final stage.
For example, suppose Sumedha's data was a simple random sample of individuals,
and 'sampwgt' is the name of the variable containing the sampling weights.
The proper -svyset- for this setup is
. svyset hhidpn [pw=sampwgt]
Failure to specify 'hhidpn' as the PSU variable will cause -svy: clogit-
report the error
the group() variable is not nested within the final stage
sampling units
r(459);
