I want to construct a simulated Y mean matrix that is a 667x4 matrix.
XB is drawn from a dataset with 667 observations and four variables
"xbm1", "xbm2", "xbm3","xbm4" . U is drawn from 4 normal distribution
with a variance-covariance V.The draw is repeated 1000 times.  Here is
what I do

/*number of repetions*/
N=1000

/*Multiple draws from multivariate normal distribution with variance
and covariance V */
U=(invnormal(uniform(N,cols(V)))*cholesky(V)')

for(k=1;k<=667;k++) {

XB=st_data(k,("xbm1", "xbm2", "xbm3","xbm4"))

Y_si=XBM:+U

M_u=mean(Y_si)
}

I can get means of each simulated Y by looping the process from 1 to
667.  But I do not know how to put the mean row vectors into a 667X 4
matrix.
Anyone can give me some suggestions?
Thanks!
