> Subject: st: specify freq criteria for rmean

>
> I need to compute average scale scores for individual records. The row
> means command [rmean] will do this, but I can't figure out how to
> specify minimum frequency criteria (e.g., compute an average
> score only
> if 6 or more columns have data) as part of the [rmean] command.
>
> For now I'm working around this by using [robs] to yield a second
> variable which, in turn, is used as the minimum criteria for
> the [rmean]
> calc.
>
> But, I suspect there is a simpler Stata solution that doesn't entail
> creating the extra [robs] variable. For example, in SPSS this would be
> done in one step by using [MEAN.6(var1 var2 var3 ... var8)].
