Hello,
      I was following the message thread between you and Amadou on the
Stata website. I am also trying to make a wealth index using STATA. I
am a bit confused as to what command to use:

I am doing:

pca roof car borehole ......
score index

Is this my wealth index, the 1st eigenfactor??

What's the difference between pca and factor?

I will appreciate your help in this matter ( coming from a random
person)'

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Loveena.
