st: Generating random variable with predefined characteristics
Date
Fri, 31 May 2013 16:55:54 +0200
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to generate a random variable that would have the following characteristics:
- would take values from 1 to 34
- would display a strong correlation with another variable that is currently present in the data set
- ideally, I would like to obtain distribution that would be positively skewed, but correlation with another variable is a priority
I will appreciate any help I can get.

Kind regards,
Konrad
