Re: a guess (Re: st: generate a tscs pseudo-population...)

Yesterday I made a posting to Statalist, in which a snippit of the code 
read

>       . gen x2 = . 
>       . replace x2 = 1 in 1
>       . replace x2 = 
>       . gen x2 = 4 + .2*x2[_n-1] + 2*invnorm(uniform())

Toyoto Iwata <iwata@med.akita-u.ac.jp> is right; the -generate- at the end
makes no sense; it should be

        . replace x2 = 4 + .2*x2[_n-1] + 2*invnorm(uniform()) if x2 ==.
or 
        . replace x2 = 4 + .2*x2[_n-1] + 2*invnorm(uniform()) in 2/l
