Abstract: simuped2 and simuped3 are immediate commands to generate two- and three-generation family data, respectively. The number of siblings in a family is determined by a Poisson distribution with a mean specified by sib(#) or si3(#), where the Poisson variate is generated using rndpoix. This program needs to be installed before running simuped2 or simuped3. The gender of a person is determined by a Bernoulli distribution with mean 0.5 and age is determined by a normal distribution with means #Age1, #Age2 and #Age3 for the first, second and third generation, respectively. The corresponding standard deviation is given by #Std1, #Std2 and #Std3 for the three generations, respectively. This is a revision of material published in STB-58, dm82, 2000.
