I ran the following for the weak instrument test:
ivreg2 2sls y (x=z) $covariates i.fixedeffects [aw=perweight], cluster (state)

Confidence sets estimated for 100 points in [-14.0863, 10.5101].
Number of obs N = 200682.
Method = lagrange multiplier (LM).
Tests robust to heteroskedasticity and clustering on state (N_clust=37).
Wald statistic in last row is based on ivreg2 estimation and is not robust to weak instruments.
Can you help me to understand whether my instrument is weak or not?
When I did weaakivtest, the effective F-stat is very low. How to interpret that? How to interpret AR chi2(1) and the p-value? Also, I get open end confidence interval, which shows the instrument is weak?
I searched in the forums for interpretations, I didn't get much results. any help is appreciated!
