8. Mastering mrScriptMetadata
7. Learning about weighting uses a line of mrScriptMetadata to create a numeric variable in the output data source to hold the weighting information. The mrScriptMetadata was in the Metadata section (see
Metadata section), which is an optional section in a DMS file for creating new questions and variables. Typically, you use this to create filters and other derived variables for use during analysis.
