Quite so.
-genbinomial- is by Roberto Gutierrez.
And it is much more general than anything else mentioned
in this thread. But all the examples that Tiago has mentioned
don't need any of that machinery, so as I can infer from
his posts.

One more alternative to -rndbin- in addition to those mentioned by Nick
in his response as of 21sep2007
> http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2007-09/msg00689.html
is the -genbinomial- command (an extension of -rndbinx-). It uses a
plugin for the binomial generation algorithm and therefore should be
faster than -rndbin- and -rndbinx-. See
. findit genbinomial
for more information.
