Betreff: st: RE: AW: Simulation in Stata
My comment is a bit different. What Susan apparently user wants can be
achieved by
expand 10
sort id_psu, stable
gen no = _n
In short, the -stable- option of -sort- is intended for this purpose.
In a big dataset, that last should be
gen long no = _n

is too complicated as you first have Stata record the current sort order
via
"_n" , then -sort- on "id_psu" and then -drop- "no" - only to recreate
it in
the next step.
