Creating pweight

[Tom Prosser]

Dear Forum members,
This may be a basic task, but I can't seem to manage and it's giving me a massive headache. I want to create a pweight for my dataset. My co-author has created the code on SPSS and the values for the three variables are:
gender 1 = .49 2 = .51
ethnicity 1 = .63 2 = .12 3 = .06 4 = .11 5 = .08
age 1= .12 2= .17 3= .17 4= .16 5= .38

This is also in the SPSS code: ITERATIONS=20 CONVERGENCE=.0001 DELTA=.5 SHOW=NO

Would anyone know how to create a Stata pweight? Any help would be immensely appreciated.
Tom

That sounds more like the options to the command than the command itself. Remember that in SP'SS a command typically ends with a ;

Reporting iterations sounds more like raking existing weights than creating them. See

Depending on context, and who you ask, raking probability weights is a debatable issue.

Thanks all - very kind of you. I'll continue my investigations...
