PowerShell script to Create My Site Host Site Collection

Question

I am trying to create My Site Host Site Collection through PowerShell scripts. I am able to create a new web application, set Self Service Site Creation Enabled property on it, Create a new Permission Policy for creating subsites, Associate this Permission Policy to Everyone user in User Policy for this web application, Create a new Managed Path and also create a new Site Collection, all through PowerShell. Now, in the User Profile Service Application, there is a link to Setup MySites. Here we associate the user profile service application with the my site configuration. I need to be able to achieve these steps also through PowerShell, but not able to. I tried to check the properties / methods on the User Profile Service Application and also its Proxy, but couldn't find anything. Can anyone please provide the scripts for this?

Edit - Adding code here for quick reference as per comments.

Add - PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell - ErrorAction SilentlyContinue   
$MySiteurl = "https://SPMY.Gowtham.com"   
$ServiceContext = Get - SPServiceContext - site $MySiteHost   
$UserProfileManager = New - Object Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileManager($ServiceContext)# Retrive all user Profiles   
$UserProfiles = $UserProfileManager.GetEnumerator()# Loop through each profile   
foreach($Profile in $UserProfiles)   
{   
    if ($Profile.PersonalSite - eq $Null)    
    {   
        if ($Profile.PersonalSite - eq $Null)    
        {#   
            $UserProfile.CreatePersonalSite()   
            write - host "My Site Profile Created Successfully for :"   
            $Profile["AccountName"] - f Green   
        } else    
        {   
            write - host "Site Already Exists for the User:"   
            $Profile["AccountName"] - f Red   
        }   
    }   
}
