" In my prior example I had the line gen d = (runiform()>0.7)"
Which is very necessary as otherwise "d" will not be a dummy, as John
thought, but "displacement" if -varabbrev- is off...

Nick pointed out invlogit(), which does not appear in the function  
list of density functions, but of math functions. Quite so, but it  
doesn't save much typing:
local cum1  1/(1+exp(-((_b[_cons]+ _b[trunk]*mut + _b[mpg]*mum +  
_b[d]*1) - mu)/s))
scalar onea = invlogit((_b[_cons]+ _b[trunk]*mut + _b[mpg]*mum +  
_b[d]*1 - mu)/s)
will indeed generate the same values, but you still have to compute mu  
and s and include them in the function argument.
In my prior example I had the line
gen d = (runiform()>0.7)
which did not appear in the posting.
