Betreff: st: Randomly assigning values with a specific distribution
Dear Statalist:
I would like to create a random variable taking five different values
whose distribution mirrors that of another variable. In other words,
I have one variable whose distribution is, say:
value %
x1 40
x2 10
x3 30
x4 5
x5 15
... and I want to create another variable with the same values and
distribution, but randomly assigned. Something like gen randomvar =
mydist() instead of uniform().
Thanks,
Dorothy
