st: How to generate binary y?

[Bryan Griffin <bwgriffin@georgiasouthern.edu>]

Here's some code I used in a do file to create clustered data for
analysis with xtlogit. Perhaps you can use some of this as a basis for
generating binary Y.

set more off
	set obs 500
	generate float z1= invnorm(uniform())
      generate n = 5
      generate id_2 = _n
      expand n
      bysort id_2: gen id_1 = _n
      generate float u0j= invnorm(uniform())*1	
      generate float x1= invnorm(uniform())
	generate y = 1 + 1*x1 + 1*z1 + u0j
	generate p = exp(y)/(1+exp(y))
	generate binary_y = uniform()<=p	
iis id_2

xtlogit binary_y x1 z1, re
