[R] clogit and weights

[Therneau, Terry M., Ph.D.]

How should the weights be treated?  If they are multiple observation weights (a weight of 
"3" is shorthand for 3 subjects) that leads to a different likelihood than sampling 
weights ("3" means to give this one subject more influence).  The clogit command can't 
read your mind and so has chosen not to make a guess.

Also, please do not post in html.  As you see below it leads to a mangled message.
