Abstract: percentmatch calculates the highest percent match between observation across the variables in varlist (or across all variables if varlist is not specified). Similar to duplicates, percentmatch compares observations to identify identical values. The match percentage is given by the number of identical values divided by the number of variables. percentmatch returns the highest match percentage for each observation.
