Abstract: Using row functions of egen, scores calculates scores according to fcn using variables listed in varlist and assigns them to the new variable newvar. If the number of valid values of varlist is less than minvalid(#) the resulting score will be set to missing. fcn can be one of several egen functions. scores now allows to calculate median and percentile scores, proportions of maximum possible scores, and shrunken proportions of maximum possible scores. Additionally, it allows by: and fweights, aweights, or iweights (only useful if requesting z-scores, mean centered scores, or shrunken proportions of maximum possible scores).
