How to generate a random variable for a given range of values?
Example: 46 observations between 0 and 45.
There are several ways, but the main difference is: with repetiton or not?
Have a look at this:
<hansl>
nulldata 46
#with repetition
series x = floor(uniform(0,46))
#without repetition
matrix tmp = muniform(46,1) ~ seq(0,45)'
series z = msortby(tmp,1)[,2]
</hansl>
