  How do I analyze survey data with a repeated systematic sampling design? | SUDAAN FAQ

This example is taken from Levy and Lemeshow’s
Sampling of Populations.

page 109 repeated systematic sampling
This example uses the wloss2
data set.

proc descript data = wloss2 filetype=sas design = wor means totals;
nest _one_ cluster;
weight wt1;
totcnt m _zero_;
var xi;
setenv colwidth = 15;
setenv decwidth = 3;
run;

Number of observations read    :     18    Weighted count :      162
Denominator degrees of freedom :      5

Variance Estimation Method: Taylor Series (WOR)
by: Variable, One.
