Dear Statalisters,
I want to build an additive weighted index from 3
indicators from a survey (I have in total 2,111
observations and 61 variables).
The form for the index can be:
a * Indicator I + b * Indicator II + c * Indicator
III
a= 1/4
b=1/4
c=1/2
Does anyone have an idea how this would work with
Stata?
Note:
(Each indicator from the 3 which I would like to use
has 4 values: �1- totally agree�, �2 -I rather agree�,
�3-I rather disagree�, �4- I totally disagree�)
Thank you very much in advance for your help,
Andreia
