I have calculated a standardized weight for running weighted analysis using PROC FREQ. The issue is, I obtain standard errors that are half the size of the standard errors I obtain when using all the survey parameters in PROC SURVEYFREQ. I calculate the same proportions when I use the standardized weight in PROC FREQ and the original weight in PROC SURVEYFREQ, but I have a larger standard error in PROC SURVEYFREQ than in PROC FREQ.

I am trying to figure out if there is a standard way to inflate the standard error so that it does not underestimate the variance estimates in PROC FREQ. Thank you for any guidance you can provide!

If you have a survey, use PROC SURVEYFREQ, not PROC FREQ.  The standard errors and the variances calculated in PROC FREQ do not account for the survey design (for example, stratification, clustering).

What is ANOVA?

ANOVA, or Analysis Of Variance, is used to compare the averages or means of two or more populations to better understand how they differ. Watch this tutorial for more.
