Abstract

ckvar provides a system for storing validation or scoring rules with the variables in a dataset, and then running the validation or scoring. By attaching the validation rules to the variables themselves, they are available even if the dataset is merged, appended, or subsetted. This beats having a codebook, because sharing the data means sharing the validation as well. A dialog box is provided to make entering the validation rules quite simple. A helper command allows saving the rules in a do-file for attaching to a similar dataset in the future.
