Surely the entire topic of statistical weighting cannot be simply be ignored by saying it's more commonly applied to light etc. Really? I came here to understand statistical weighting not understand frequencies and 3d modeling.
Agreed looking for the market research use of weighting.

It would be nice if this page also discussed weighting by probability.

The article definitely needs reorganized, and there should be a section on weighted probabilities.
For an article on weighting, it's kind of ironic that it suffers from undue attention -- i.e., weighting -- to some very specific uses of the term. It's a general concept in data analysis -- the times I hear it most is in regards to polling data -- zeroing in on some very technical uses does NOT help the general reader. Quite the opposite. --Calton | Talk 13:46, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
