RANDOMSELECT: Stata module to randomly select and tag observations

Sean Higgins

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: Randomly selects observations and marks them with a dummy variable. It differs from sample in that it does not drop the non-selected observations from the data set, and that either individual observations or other units can be randomly selected. For example, if each observation in your data set is a household, and each household lives in a district, you can randomly select some number or portion of the districts.
