  How do I analyze survey data with a stratified random sampling with allocation to strata design? | SUDAAN FAQ

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

page 167 stratified random sampling:  allocation of sample to strata
This example uses the jacktwn data set.

proc descript data = jacktwn filetype = sas means totals design = strwor;
nest stratum;
weight sampwt;
totcnt npop;
setenv decwidth = 3;
subgroup quart1;
levels 3;
tables quart1;
var twin;
run;
Number of observations read    :    831    Weighted count :   256998
Denominator degrees of freedom :    813
