Re: st: estimating data for a given correlation coefficient

[Nomoreno <nomorenook@netscape.net>]

First you need to define the correlation matrix you desire, then you can 
use -drawnorm- in STATA to generate the data you wish for different 
panels of the variable, given the correlation matrix. For more 
information, you can check out -drawnorm- in STATA.

I hope it helps.
