| Subject | st: How to generate a censored random variable |
| Date | Thu, 6 Feb 2014 15:28:14 -0200 |
Dear Statalisters, How can I create a censored random variable (left=0 and right=2) in Stata, with mean=0 and sigma=sdpb1? I was using - gen erb= rnormal(0,sdpb1)- but the variable isn't censored. The mean is 0 and std error is sdpb1, but it's out of the range 0-2. In R, the code is: erb[n,]=rnorm.trunc(1, t.left = 0, t.right = medb[n], mean = 0, sigma = sdpb1) However, I would like to do in Stata. Thanks a lot, -- --------------------------------------------------------- João Ricardo F. de Lima, D.Sc.
