Software

We have developed two implementations of Wordscores: a command line version for Stata, and a graphical version written in Java.

Wordscores for Stata

Wordscores has been implemented as a suite of .ado files. To install these files start Stata on a computer connected to the internet and type

net install http://www.tcd.ie/Political_Science/wordscores/wordscores

If a net install does not work, then you may download the zipped .ado files and install the suite manually. On Windows:

mkdir c:\wordscores\
chdir c:\wordscores\
unzip wordscores.zip

Then in Stata type:

net from c:\wordscores\
net install wordscores

For basic instructions about Wordscores type:

help wordscores

or look at the online manual.

Wordscores for Java

We have recently finished developing a graphical version of Wordscores in Java. It will be available soon.
