Dear Statalists,
I need to generate a set of variables that are som of four variables
v1 v2 v3 v4 multipled by a ratio r1 r2 r3 r4 which are randomly chosen
from (0, 0.05,0.1,0.15,0.2). For example,
s0=v1*0+v2*0+v3*0+v4*0
s1=v1*0.05+v2*0+v3*0_v4*0
s2=v1*0.05+v2*0.05+v3*0+v4*0
.
.
.
s625=v1*0.2+v2*0.2+v3*0.2+v4*0.2
How can I use commands to generate these 625 variables?
Thank you!
