Now, we'll compute the proportion correct (as a proportion of values
1-3) for each variable:
egen correct = max((y==1)*cnt), by(Var)
egen nonmiss = sum(inlist(y,1,2,3)*cnt), by(Var)
bys Var (y): replace cnt = correct[1] / nonmiss[1] if y == 5
Note for the record that the third line above may be replaced with the
simpler
replace cnt = correct / nonmiss if y == 5
(the original was left over from an initial approach which I then
simplified).
