SVY command with singleunit option

[Dharmi Kapadia]

Hello,
I am trying to obtain confidence intervals for some descriptive statistics I am running on my dataset. I used the following survey settings:

svyset c_psu [pweight=c_indinub_xw], strata(c_strata)

Unfortunately I was unable to obtain confidence intervals because I have strata with single observations. Therefore, I wanted to use the singleunit (centered) option to rectify this. I amended my survey settings to:

svyset c_psu [pweight=c_indinub_xw], strata(c_strata) singleunit (missing)

However, I got the following error message:

option singleunit() not allowed

Does anyone have any idea why this is occurring?

Many thanks,
Dharmi

You have a space between singleunit and (missing). Sometimes Stata is fussy about such things. I would change that first and then let us know if that worked or not.

That worked, thank you!
