Stata Tip 16: Using Input to Generate Variables

Regression models for categorical dependent variables using Stata, 2nd Edition

Using Examples to Generate Instantiations of Set Variables

Examples play a crucial role in automated theorem proving, not only as counterexamples to help prune unproductive subgoals, but also to help guide proof discovery. In this paper we show how examples (interpretations) might be used to help determine Instantiations of set variables. We also discuss the role of piecewise-linear continuous functions, and give some results of computer runs using the...

Comparison of Different Techniques to Generate Normal Random Variables∗

This exercise aims at exploring different techniques for creating a random variable X according to a normal distribution with zero mean and unit variance. The methods include the use of an inverse cumulative distribution function, the Box–Muller method, the polar technique and the application of the Central Limit Theorems to uniform random variables. The normal random variables generated by the...
