| The SURVEYMEANS Procedure |
WEIGHT Statement
- WEIGHT
WGT variable ;
The WEIGHT statement names the variable that contains
the sampling weights. This variable must be numeric.
If you do not specify a WEIGHT statement, PROC
SURVEYMEANS 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.
