2 Varianc Componnts (VARCOP) Wights For th sa of clarity and simplicity, th algorithms dscribd in this chaptr assum unit frquncy wight and unit rgrssion wight for all cass. Wights can b applid as dscribd in th following two sctions. Frquncy Wight Th WIGHT command spcifis frquncy wights. Cass with nonpositiv frquncy ar xcludd from all calculations in th procdur. Non-intgral frquncy wight is roundd to th narst intgr. Th total sampl siz is qual to th sum of positiv roundd frquncy wights. Rgrssion Wight odl Th RGWGT subcommand spcifis rgrssion wights. Suppos th lth 0l, K, n5 cas has a rgrssion wight w i > 0 (cass with nonpositiv rgrssion wights ar xcludd from all calculations in th procdur). Lt W diag w, K, w n 6 b th n n diagonal wight matrix. Thn th VARCOP procdur will prform all calculations as if y is physically transformd to W y and X i to W Xi, i 0,, K, ; and thn th prtinnt algorithm is applid to th transformd data.
