Hi Jverkulien, 
I am slow to pick up what you say. For example my data has a sample size of only 5  obs, with the sanmpling wt variable wtpp:
  caseid     wtpp   
  1.     	   60.74  
  2.  	 700.38  
  3.    	139.64  
  4.   	9671.57  
  5.   	1545.32
Sum of wtpp= N= 12117.65
According to what you said, what does the analytical weight look like?   In addition to  being  normalized to sum to N, does the aweight need  to be integer?
Thank - Rita Luk
