Well, the MUS book is pretty comprehensive in its coverage of MCs, and the
presentation by Ian White at the London UGM this year may fill some blank
spots. Stata.com seems to be down at the moment, so cannot post the link...
A book totally devoted to MC would be a bit of a stretch, IMHO...

Subject: st: R: RE: R: Simulation using Stata (flag: 9.2/SE version)
Dear Martin,
In my previous posting I meant something like "Performing Monte Carlo
simulations with Stata".
IMHO, this textbook should cover the theoretical building blocks of Monte
Carlo simulations, including double loop exercises, and present a lot of
examples drawn from different research fields (eg: risk analysis;
epidemiology; statistics; econometrics and, of course, microeconometrics;
health economics; ecology)with related Stata codes discussed to the gory
detail.
I do not know if someone at Stata or among the most prominent Statalist
contributors are interested in publishing such a textbook.
Kind Regards and a nice W_E to you and to all Statalisters,
Carlo

" Unfortunately, Stata textbooks entirely devoted to this topic haven't be

Microeconometrics Using Stata, by Cameron and Trivedi (2008), is full of
examples for -simulate-...

Dear Ali,
as far as my knowledge is concerned, the only examples of simulations with
Stata (9.2/SE version) are reported in - help simulate -, that you might
want to invoke from within Stata.
Unfortunately, Stata textbooks entirely devoted to this topic haven't be
published, so far.
However, sticking to your query, performing a probabilistic sensitivity
analysis on the observed OR is straightforward with Stata.
----------------------------begin example --------------------------------
sysuse nlsw88.dta
logistic union married
set obs 10000
g Sens_OR= (.7800495 +.0863818 *invnorm(uniform()))
----------------------------end example --------------------------------
In the example sketched above you can draw 10,000 random values from the OR
sampling distribution by simply plugging in the observed OR and its standard
error.
HTH and Kind Regards,
Carlo

Oggetto: st: Simulation using Stata
Hello all:
Does anyone know if there is a book (or any other resource) that
introduces simulation and provides practical examples using Stata?
This is mainly for quantifying the impact of change in a particular
predictor of interest on the observed odds ratio or relative risk in a
regression model.
Thank you for your help,
Ali
