applying survey weights to a simple tabulation

Postby jbernstein » Mon Nov 09, 2015 8:53 am

Using CPS data, I'd like to look at a simple tabulation (freq dist) of a variable, say 'education' which has five categories, but after applying sample weights, which are on each record. Not sure how to do that.

thnx,
JB

Unfortunately, EViews doesn't really offer support for frequency weighting (with the exception of GLM estimation).There are ways of doing what you want to do, but they'll require a bit of extra effort.
