st: ice and random-number seed

Subject   st: ice and random-number seed
Date   Thu, 21 Aug 2008 22:43:10 -0400 
I am unable to reproduce regression results using imputed data generated via Royston's -ice- command, although I am using the -seed- option. A comparison of a mock original and an attempted replication, illustrating this problem, can be found in step #4 below.

I am using Stata version 10.1. The version of -ice- and -micombine- being used can be found in step #5 below.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Tait
