Documentation from the NAMCS describes this for Stata as follows (note the variable names in the data are in caps): The pweight (PATWT), strata (CSTRATM), and PSU (CPSUM) are set with the svyset command as follows: svyset pweight PATWT svyset strata CSTRATM svyset psu CPSUM They provide similar instructions for SUDAAN: as...
