Thanks for the flowers of course!
For the programming issue- which I take to mean more than just programming,
but the ability to judiciously combine different instruments in Stata to
achieve certain data transformation goals- I recommend the whole range of
Stata press publications to your attention
(http://www.stata-press.com/books/), in particular Kit`s
http://www.stata-press.com/books/isp.html
Here is the code up to 3), then...
**********
clear*
input i y x z n
1 5 8 3 1
1 9 10 5 2
1 8 12 6 3
1 6 9 4 4
2 5 7 2 1
2 9 13 4 2
2 8 8 7 3
2 6 8 6 4
2 8 8 7 5
2 8 8 7 6
3 5 7 2 1
3 9 11 7 2
3 8 11 5 3
end
compress
list, noobs
/*

random so better
set seed to facilitate
discussion

set seed 1001
gen random=runiform()
sort i random
by i: gen byte group=/*
*/cond(_n<=_N/2,1,2)
drop random
collapse (mean) y x z, /*
*/by(i group)
/*
get replacement
as requested by John
*/
by i: replace y = y[1]
by i: drop if _n==1
l, noo sepby(i)

Hi Martin:
Thanks for the reply and the code! You are so helpful with everyone and
always seem to be able to find an elegant solution! As an aside, what is a
nice resource to learn how to program nicely in Stata?
I made a mistake in the 3), which you noticed.
So, this was 2)--(I am only putting one space after each entry so that the
formatting doesn't get too messed up):
i g y x z 1 1 6.5 10 4.5
1 2 7.5 9.5 4.5
2 1 7.3 9.3 4.3
2 2 7.3 8 6.7
3 1 5 7 2
3 2 8.5 11 6
Now for 3), I want to put the data in such as way as to be able to regress
the y of the first observation in each cluster on the x and z of the
second observation in each cluster
i y x z
1 6.5 9.5 4.5
2 7.3 8 6.7
3 5 11 6
Thank you very much for your help.
Best,
J.

Here is the code for 1) and 2). I do not understand the intent in number
3: If you really do want the first obs on y in each cluster, why does
your example say "7.5" then? Should it not be 6.5?

Subject: st: Randomly selecting variables in panel, collapsing, and
simulating
Hi:
I want to do something that is quite straightforward, but don't yet have
the programming skills to do this, so I would appreciate some help.
Basically, I want to select randomly within clusters, then collapse,
then estimate a regression model that I would like to simulate. I would
like to define it as an e-class program so that I can easily incorporate
a simulation in there.
I have the following data structure (I have added a line in-between
clusters to facilitate viewing):
i y x z n
1 5 8 3 1
1 9 10 5 2
1 8 12 6 3
1 6 9 4 4
2 5 7 2 1
2 9 13 4 2
2 8 8 7 3
2 6 8 6 4
2 8 8 7 5
2 8 8 7 6
3 5 7 2 1
3 9 11 7 2
3 8 11 5 3
Where y is the dependent variable, and x and z are covariates (note, I
have more covariates, so I would like to use something general that
works even with more covariates), "i" is the panel identifier and "n" is
number of observations in each cluster. Note that each cluster does not
have the same number of observations
I would like to do the following:
1) by cluster (i.e., within in each cluster), randomly split the
observations into two groups, with an equal amount of observations (if
number of observations are even); if the number of observations are odd,
then one of the group will have 1 more observation than the other. Thus,
I would now have this:
i y x z n g
1 8 12 6 3 1
1 5 8 3 1 1
1 6 9 4 4 2
1 9 10 5 2 2
2 9 13 4 2 1
2 5 7 2 1 1
2 8 8 7 3 1
2 8 8 7 5 2
2 6 8 6 4 2
2 8 8 7 6 2
3 5 7 2 1 1
3 8 11 5 3 2
3 9 11 7 2 2
2) collapse observations at the group level for each cluster to get:
i g y x z 1 1 6.5 10 4.5
1 2 7.5 9.5 4.5
2 1 7.3 9.3 4.3
2 2 7.3 8 6.7
3 1 5 7 2
3 2 8.5 11 6
3) then I want to the data as below, so that I can regress the y of the
first observation in each cluster to the x and z of the second
observation in each cluster
i y x z 1 7.5 9.5 4.5
2 7.3 8 6.7
3 8.5 11 2
4) once I have this I want to simulate it, using something like this:
capture program drop sim
version 10.1
program define sim, eclass
[here is the code I would like to insert to make points 1-4 above run]
simulate _b _se, reps(20) seed (123) : sim,
foreach v in x z {
gen t_`v' = _b_`v'/_se_`v'
gen p_`v' = 2*(1-normal(abs(t_`v')))
Thank you.
John.
