The LIFEREG Procedure

WEIGHT Statement

WEIGHT variable ;

If you want to use weights for each observation in the input data set, place the weights in a variable in the data set and specify the name in a WEIGHT statement. The values of the WEIGHT variable can be nonintegral and are not truncated. Observations with nonpositive or missing values for the weight variable do not contribute to the fit of the model. The WEIGHT variable multiplies the contribution to the log likelihood for each observation.
