  How do I analyze survey data with a stratified design with certainty PSUs? | SAS FAQ

This example is taken from Lehtonen and Pahkinen’s
Practical Methods for Design and
Analysis of Complex Surveys
.

page 60 Table 2.8  Estimates under a PPSSYS
design (n = 8); the Province’91 population.
NOTE:  The certainty PSU (the first line of the data) was entered twice
and the weight was changed from 1 to .5 for each observation.  This is
necessary because you need to have two observations in each strata.
