If you are only interested in point estimates (i.e. you do not need standard errors/confidence intervals) using the weight option in regular SAS procedures, will give the correct point estimates. However, in order to get confidence intervals you must use proc surveymeans or another software program capable of accounting for the complex survey design. ************************************************************************************/ **Sample code: Standard errors will not be correct with regular SAS procs, but point estimates will be fine. Remember to use the weight statement; proc means data = accl_public; var Sed_Day1 ; class valid_day1; weight WT_PATW2ACCEL; run; **Sample code for proc surveymeans - standard errors are correct.
