st: RE: RE: select a random obs from dataset
Dear Alex,
The commands worked well. Thank you very much.
I tested them on my dataset, but still not yet heard anything from my
colleague.
By the way, what if, say, now I want to select 3 or 4 obs from each
household,
with household_ID can be selected 2 or 3 times.
I mean, I tried to change the second command line, but the result is always
only
one obs for each household.
Is there any keyword to look for in Help so that I can see the explanation
in details
of that command line, or in relation to using -- uniform() -- because the
Help in Stata
does not give me much info. Thank you very much in advance for any
guide/help.
Best Regards,
Akihito

This will select one person randomly per household:
gen randomvar = uniform()
bysort householdid (randomvar): gen selectionflag = _n==1

Subject: st: select a random obs from dataset
Dear all,
My colleague wants to know how to select a random obs with some
conditions
from her dataset.
She wants to select one person randomly per household, but also with
condition that there is
no repetition of household (no household should appear twice in the
outcome,
although the
person is different).
I don't know the method and I don't know if this can be done by Stata or
not. If there is a way, or some suggestions, I would appreciate very
much.
Many thanks in advance.
Akihito
