Sampling from a Complex Design
Input Sample Weight. If the current sample design is part of a larger sample design, you may have
sample weights from a previous stage of the larger design. You can specify a numeric variable
containing these weights in the rst stage of the current design. Sample weights are computed
automatically for subsequent stages of the current design.
Stage Label. Youcanspecifyanoptionalstringlabelforeachstage.Thisisusedintheoutputto
help identify stagewise information.
Note: The source variable list has the same content across steps of the Wizard. In other words,
variables removed from the source list in a particular step are removed from the list in all steps.
Variables returned to the source list appear in the list in all steps.
Tree Controls for Navigating the Sampling Wizard
On the left side of each step in the Sampling Wizard is an outline of all the steps. You can navigate

long as all previous steps are valid—that is, if each previous step has been given the minimum
required specications for that step. See the Help for individual steps for more information on
