Hello,

I think that I might be doing some analyses incorrectly; I've been using weights, which have averaged over 1  
(they are based on volumes/response counts).  In SPSS, are these interpreted as frequencies?  If so, I believe that I've been falsely inflating the significances.  Should I normalize the weights (divide by the mean, so that the new average is 1)?

Thank you very much,

Barry
