Hi Anthony, The ylim () has been added to the code (please see below), and I got 4 plots that have the same y -dimension.
Each plot displays 2 distributions - one as histogram from the data and another
one as line (i.e., idealized theoretical normal distribution?).
My question is, "Is there way to change the distribution in the line ()
function and try other theoretical distribution to approximate the observed
distribution?"
Thanks,
Pradip Muhuri

?ylim says "numeric vectors of length 2" - so just the beginning and end.
?svyhist doesn't specifically mention the ylim parameter, meaning you should
look for a "..." in the arguments list and click through to the page for ?hist
?hist has an example that shows the ylim parameter only containing the
beginning and end values.
try using
ylim = c( 0 , 0.030 )
if you're looking to set the tick marks, look at ?axis ;)

Dear Anthony and David,
Sorry- the earlier-sent plots were mislabeled, which I have corrected and
attached. But, the y-lim issue is yet to be resolved.
Thanks,
Pradip Muhuri

this worked for me -- and doesn't require removing the PSUs from the design :)
options( survey.lonely.psu = "adjust" )

Dr. Lumley has written quite a bit about single-PSU strata here:

This is the top of the output of str applied to the data argument you offered
to svyhist:
> str(subset (nhis, xspd2==2) )
List of 9
$ cluster :'data.frame': 0 obs. of 1 variable:
..$ psu: Factor w/ 47 levels "109.1","115.2",..:
..- attr(*, "terms")=Classes 'terms', 'formula' length 2 ~psu
.. .. ..- attr(*, "variables")= language list(psu)
.. .. ..- attr(*, "factors")= int [1, 1] 1
.. .. .. ..- attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2
.. .. .. .. ..$ : chr "psu"
.. .. .. .. ..$ : chr "psu"
At least one problem seems pretty clear. No data. That can be corrected by
wrapping as.numeric() around the factor on which you are subsetting in two
places.
Another problem may arise when you restrict to one class only, namely there
won't any "design" to work with. All the clusters .... there would be only one
.... no longer have any multiplicity, and svyhist apparently isn't built to
handle situation, at least with that design argument.
Error in onestrat(x[index, , drop = FALSE], clusters[index], nPSU[index][1], :
Stratum (2) has only one PSU at stage 1
Taking the 'stratum' argument out of the design() spec allows it to proceed,
but I do not know if that is introducing invalidity in the analysis.
