Differences between using a variable as a WEIGHT variable in SPSS and using it as a WLS or regression weight (REGWGT) in REGRESSION

Troubleshooting


Problem

I'm trying to clarify the effects of using the same variable with the WEIGHT command and using it as a regression or WLS weight via the REGWGT subcommand in the SPSS REGRESSION procedure. How will the two approaches affect my regression coefficients, standard errors and other basic regression results?
