raking and weighting

[Sebastián Daza-3]

Hi All,
I want to raking (with python module) a database that already has
sampling weights (gross weights). Does anybody know how I can weight
database with raking and at the same time  considering  the existing
sampling or gross weights? Does anybody have any idea?

Thanks in advance. Regards.

I believe if you have the gross weights switched on and then you apply the RAKE module it will create new weights which preserve the gross weights and create new weights which you have specified via the RAKE module.

I believe this is correct but not entirely sure.
