[R] Sample Weights

[Jeff Newmiller]

If you have a clear idea what meaning those weights have (?) in the context of a specific calculation (?), and you know what the weights are (?), then it is usually trivially easy to do in R. However,  your question is vague on all of those points, so offering you a solution seems like an invitation for you to mis-use any particular solution offered. Please try to clarify what you are doing that "weights" will help with, and yes, there may just be a weights argument to the function that does that analysis that we can point you to.

You also are unclear what the difference between a data frame and a vector is... if it helps, a data frame is a list of vectors (typically referred to as "columns") all with the same length...  your "mydat" is a vector, not a data frame.
