Hallo SPSS-folks,

I am new to weighting and the current discussion leaves me a bit confused.

Starting with a household-sample I am using transformation- or design-weighting to analyse my data on the level of individuals. The number of persons in the sample is the same before and after using the weight variable. Does this kind of weighting have any effect on the significance levels of the weighted data?

Which SPSS-textbook (German or English) could tell me not just HOW I use the weight-command, but also WHAT FOLLOWS out of this?

Thanks a lot for your help!
