{title:Description}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}{cmd:genscore} allows creating a new variable containing the score
|
|
computed as the sum (or the mean) of the responses to the variables defined in
|
|
{it:varlist}. Variables of {it:varlist} can be centered or standardized. The new
|
|
variable will contain a missing value for each individual with at least one
|
|
missing values among the variables of {it:varlist}.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}Only {cmd:fweights} are allowed, and the weights have an influence only with
|
|
the {cmd:centered} or {cmd:standardized} options.
|
|
|
|
{title:Options}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}{cmd:score} defines the name of the new variable ({it:score} by default).
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}{cmd:mean} allows obtaining a mean score (the sum of the responses is divided by the number of variables).
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}{cmd:centered} computes the scores with centered variables.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}{cmd:standardized} computes the scores with standardized variables.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}{cmd:missing} defines a specific modality of the variables which can be considered as a missing value.
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}{cmd:replace} allows replacing the variable defined in the {cmd:score} option if it already exists.
|
|
|
|
{title:Examples}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}{cmd:. genscore turn trunk mpg [fweight=w],standardized mean}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}{cmd:. genscore item1-item20, score(totscore) missing(9)}
|
|
|
|
{p 4 8 2}{cmd:. genscore var*, score(scorevar) replace}
