Examples for Version 11 or later

    . use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r11/nhanes2f
    . svyset psuid [pweight=finalwgt], strata(stratid)
    . mean2 height age weight smsa using myfile.txt, over(sex) cat(Male
        Female) svy excel replace

    Basically the above codes produces the same stuff as this:
    . svy: mean height age weight smsa, over(sex)

    Plus the statistical differences computed by something like this:
    . lincom [height]Male - [height]Female

    You get the idea.


Examples for Version 9 or later

    . clear
    . use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r9/nhanes2f
    . mean2 height age weight smsa using myfile.txt, over(sex) cat(Male
        Female) svy excel replace
