hi!  after loading the survey library, i believe you might want to create a `svrepdesign()` object that matches the SAS syntax published here?

https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/hsls09/pdf/2011328_1.pdf#page=174<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnces.ed.gov%2Fsurveys%2Fhsls09%2Fpdf%2F2011328_1.pdf%23page%3D174&data=04%7C01%7CLybrya.Kebreab%40ucf.edu%7C5e98bbea7fef4b603c7a08da14e56257%7Cbb932f15ef3842ba91fcf3c59d5dd1f1%7C0%7C1%7C637845272695458770%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=3lwAHPrQyr2PkOWXRiyDadxRoRLLub7hC4%2FYRG61RmQ%3D&reserved=0>

...not sure if you need combined.weights = FALSE option added to the svrepdesign() call, but it looks like your complex survey design should look roughly like this?

hsls09_design <- svrepdesign( data = data_frame_with_hsls09 , type="BRR", weights = ~w1student , repweights="w1student[0-9]+" )

from there, you could look to the examples posted on the ?svyfactanal help page and use your design=hsls09_design rather than the example dataset design=dclus1

Hello,


I am a doctoral student, completing my dissertation using the public HSLS2009 survey data. I am interested in running an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and need to apply both the child weight and replicate weights. I found some information on applying weights in EFA (https://r-survey.r-forge.r-project.org/survey/html/svyfactanal.html<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fr-survey.r-forge.r-project.org%2Fsurvey%2Fhtml%2Fsvyfactanal.html&data=04%7C01%7CLybrya.Kebreab%40ucf.edu%7C5e98bbea7fef4b603c7a08da14e56257%7Cbb932f15ef3842ba91fcf3c59d5dd1f1%7C0%7C1%7C637845272695458770%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=gXuKjEGIzQDGmgeUDnnJFywgICCRGXhpeqDTLuSf0WE%3D&reserved=0>), however I have not found information on how to apply multiple replicate weights. Can anyone please help me with a resource that can assist?

Thank you kindly,
