How can I weight my variables by another variable?

In SPSS I can choose a variable which I want to use for weighting other variables just by using "weights_by".

For my studies I have to use Rstudio now. When I do the above thing and open it in R, they weights will disappear. How can I do this in R then?

Something like:

"weights(pspwhgt)" (without"") is not working for me...

I'm on a totally beginner level. I have my variable gender and I want to weight it by my other variable pspwhgt. How can I do this without being a genius in math or programming?

Unlike SPSS, weights in R are applied at the operation level rather than globally. So, how you specify and use weights depends on what operation you want to perform. Many R functions have a weights argument (such as lm(), etc.). You may also want weighted.mean(), etc.
