The SCORE Procedure

Standardization of Raw Data

If the scoring coefficients data set contains observations with _TYPE_='MEAN' and _TYPE_='STD', then the raw data are standardized before scoring. If the scoring coefficients data set does not contain observations with _TYPE_='MEAN' and _TYPE_='STD', or if you use the NOSTD option, the raw data are not standardized. See the section "Examples" for further illustration.

If the scoring coefficients are obtained from observations with _TYPE_='USCORE', the raw data are standardized using the uncorrected standard deviations identified by _TYPE_='USTD', and the means are not subtracted from the raw data.

For more information on _TYPE_='USCORE' scoring coefficients in TYPE=UCORR or TYPE=UCOV output data sets, see Appendix A, "Special SAS Data Sets."
