... There is a problem with bsample in
that it cannot generate more observation than exist. So to take that
approach I would have to expand the dataset to ensure that I had enough
observations to fit in with my desired data set.
If -bsample- is not flexible enough for your purposes, then have a
look at -gsample-. Type:
. ssc install gsample
. ssc install moremata
With -gsample- you can sample 1000 out of 100, say, and the additional
observations are generated on the fly.
