Stata FAQ
How do I analyze survey data with a repeated systematic sample design?

The examples below use Stata 9.  If you are using Stata versions 7 or 8, please see this page.

NOTE:  If you want to see the design effect or the misspecification effect, use estat effects after the command.

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