Dear All,

I hope someone following Stata for many years can help me with remembering: there used to be a problem (and I hope I can recollect correctly) where a method was introduced and then later withdrawn by the StataCorp. Here is what I remember, any or all of the below may be wrong:

- it was related to calculation of standard errors or confidence intervals;
- with survey data
- probably introduced in version 8 and recalled (disabled) in version 9, or in the 9 to 10 transition, but unlikely anything newer.
- could be survey proportion or survey ratio commands, or something similar.
- could be https://www.stata.com/statalist/arch.../msg00126.html , but I somehow remember this regarding the SVY subset of commands.

I believe this was mentioned earlier in the Statalist, but googling now didn't result in any mentioning of that problem.

If anyone can point to more details, please do.

Much appreciated, Sergiy Radyakin
