WEIGHT Statement

The SURVEYREG Procedure

WEIGHT Statement

WEIGHT $\, | \,$ WGT variable ;

The WEIGHT statement specifies the variable that contains the sampling weights. This variable must be numeric. If you do not specify a WEIGHT statement, PROC SURVEYREG assigns all observations a weight of 1. Sampling weights must be positive numbers. If an observation has a weight that is nonpositive or missing, then the procedure omits that observation from the analysis. If you specify more than one WEIGHT statement, the procedure uses only the first WEIGHT statement and ignores the rest.
