Dear Adrian,
as far as the second part of your question is concerned (Then...Stata??),
I would suggest you to take a look at -help corr2data- (please, consider
that I work with Stata 9.2/SE).
Kind Regards,
Carlo

Oggetto: st: generating random correlated variables
I would like to simulate some data and I'd like to know if I can do this
with Stata.
For instance, suppose I have the following equations:
y = 5x + u
x = 2z + e
and I randomly generate u and y and solve for x in the first equation. Then
I'd like to create e such that the correlation between u and e is 0.5, and
generate z such that u and z are uncorrelated. Can I do this in Stata?
Thank you!!
Adrian
