Hi Martin,
Would you please comment on the potential use of -rclass-, I mean when it would be necessary to use it. Is there any risk while using it here in this program?
Thank you
Muhammad

The speed improvement may be slight, but it is good to know that if all you
want is the returned results of -summarize-, you do not want an -rclass-
statement at the top of your -program-...

I think you can economize on lines here:
*************
capture program drop wsim
program define wsim
version 9.2
syntax [, obs(integer 1) lambda(real 0.8) gamma(real 0.4) ]
drop _all
set obs `obs'
tempvar time event
gen `time' = ((log(1-uniform()))/-`lambda')^(1/`gamma')
summarize `time', mean
end
simulate time=r(mean), reps(1000): wsim, obs(100)
gen event= time< 5

Hi Nikolaos,
You might have sorted out your simulation from weibull, I just managed to
write the codes given below: I thought it may help to thread it here in
connection to your query for simulation from weibull and get further
advices from others.
capture program drop wsim
program define wsim, rclass
version 9.2
syntax [, obs(integer 1) lambda(real 0.8) gamma(real 0.4) ]
drop _all
set obs `obs'
tempvar time event
gen `time' = ((log(1-uniform()))/-`lambda')^(1/`gamma')
summarize `time'
return scalar mean = r(mean)
end
simulate time=r(mean) , reps(1000): wsim, obs(100)
gen event= time< 5

Dear Bobby,
Thank you very much for the posting.
I have the previous version of the book on survival analysis with Stata that
you have coauthored with M. Cleves and W. Gould. Any sections in there that
will help me with the current problem?
Best wishes,
Nikolaos

Nikolaos has already received some very good advice, to which I would only
add
that I have written the routine -gengammareg- available via
. findit gengammareg
-gengammareg- generates data from gamma regression as implemented by
-streg-,
but also includes as special cases the exponential, Weibull and lognormal
distributions; see -help gengammareg- after installing.
The two-sample test Nikolaos describes can be retooled as regression on a
dummy variable, allowing the use of -gengammareg- here.
