Hi,
I have run my Polychoric PCA with 30 variables and these are my results. How do I extract the principal components?

Subject: st: FW: Running Polychoric Principal Component Analysis in STATA
Dear STATA,
How can I run Polychoric principal component analysis in STATA? . I have likert scale data on wellbeing and I would like to prepare wealth quintiles based on these subjective responses. The challenge I am facing however is how to prepar e my variables before running this. I am not sure whether I need to recode them into dummy variables or just rung these with all the ordered category?. Also kindly advice on how to do this step by step.
Many thanks,
Hildah
