Subject: st: dataset generation
Hi to all,
I would like to generate 4 variables that contain a set of integers in a
range from 40-100.
I would like to select the range per variable.
The total number of observations per variable would be 100.
Finally, I would like to create a categorical variable with 0 or 1.
The first 4 continuous variables, contain 50 values of category 0 and 50
of category 1:
id var1 var2 var3 var4 var5cat
1 45 43 44 46 0
2 43 42 48 49 0
.............................
50 56 48 54 53 0
51 45 43 44 46 0
52 43 42 48 49 0
.............................
100 50 48 54 53 0
Thank you very much.
