How does SPSS Complex Samples handle singleton clusters within strata?

Question & Answer


Question

I'm using published data from a survey that employed a stratified cluster sampling design. The study designers have provided us with the stratification and clustering variables and the final sample weights, and instructed us to analyze the data as a single-stage design, using with replacement (WR) estimation. For some reason there are some strata that each have only one cluster. How does SPSS Complex Samples handle these strata?
