Hello,

I do this all the time.

Here is how I do it.

I would say : -

forvalues x = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 {

run program using parameter `x'

}


So what you wanna do is probabaly FIRST generate random numbers, store
them in a variable and use that in place of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 .

You could also do 2 loops

forvalues index = 1 / 100 {

foreach x in random_number[`index'] {
do my code

}


}

Hi everyone



I want to run a logit program 1000 times, outputting the predicted y
values

each time.

I'm not sure how to go about this - I was thinking of doing a
simulation,

but before I submit the logit command, I also use a random number
generator

to randomly change variables in order to compare the predicted values
each

time.



Not sure if the above makes sense, but does anyone have advice on how
to do

this - keeping the output so that in the end I can compare means,
etc.?

The -simulate- command may be of some use here. See -man simulate- for more details.
