Ama,
It's not possible to answer such a general question. What do your yes/no
questions measure? What do you mean about wanting to compute a dependent
variable? This implies a multivariate analysis of some sort. What is
your dependent variable supposed to measure? What kind of multivariate
analysis did you have in mind? Also, is this a homework assignment or a
class project of some sort?

Good day stata listers,
I'm confronted to an issue, in fact I'm running a survey, on the
questionnaire there is a lot of yes/no questions and I would like to
compute a dependent variable from those yes/no question but I don't
how ?I've heard about scoring , someone else advised me to compute
a proportional dependant variable but this seem more as an intuitive
method as I didn't- come across with any relevant literature related
to that method,
Any hint would be highly appreciated
Thanks a lot in advance.
Ama
