Re: st: Sampling from a uniform distribution - suggestion

question from Tiago Pereira :
How about:
set obs 1000
gen X = uniform()*(60-10)+10
replace X = uniform()*(3000-2000)+2000 if mod(_n,6)==0
Originally, I thought of the same solution. Later, I realized you
can do it in one pass:
gen X = cond(mod(_n,6), uniform()*(60-10)+10 , uniform()*(3000-2000)+2000)
