Stata Numeric Functions
Stata supports these numeric functions in the global scope.
Contents
Dhms
Convert an date value (formatted as %td) plus an hour, minute, and second into the number of milliseconds since the Stata epoch (01jan1960 00:00:00.000`) ignoring leap seconds.
generate double datetime = dhms(dmy(day, month, year), hour, minute, second) format date %tc
See also Cdhms, which creates returns a number that should instead be formatted as %tC because it does not ignore leap seconds.
Dmy
Convert a day, month, and year into the number of days since the Stata epoch (01jan1960 00:00:00.000).
generate long date = dmy(day, month, year) format date %td
Hms
Convert an hour, minute, and second into the number of milliseconds since midnight ignoring leap seconds.
generate double datetime = hms(hour, minute, second) format date %tc
See also Chms, which creates returns a number that should instead be formatted as %tC because it does not ignore leap seconds.
Mdy
Convert a month, day, and year into the number of days since the Stata epoch (01jan1960 00:00:00.000).
generate long date = mdy(month, day, year) format date %td
Mdyhms
Convert a day, month, year, hour, minute, and second into the number of milliseconds since the Stata epoch (01jan1960 00:00:00.000) ignoring leap seconds.
generate double datetime = mdyhms(month, day, year, hour, minute, second) format date %tc
See also Cmdyhms, which creates returns a number that should instead be formatted as %tC because it does not ignore leap seconds.

RBeta
RBinomial
RCauchy
RChi2
RExponential
RGamma
RHypergeometric
RIGaussian
RLaplace
RLogistic
RNBinomial
RNormal
RPoisson
RT
RUniform
runiform(a,b) returns a random number between a and b. If no parameters are specified, the defaults of 0 and 1 are used.
Below is a demonstration for how an SRS sample can be drawn.
set seed 123456 generate double r_sampled = runiform() sort r_sampled generate byte sampled = _n <= 100
The return value is a double; it will be within a + c(epsdouble) and b − c(epsdouble).
By default, runiform uses the 64-bit Mersenne Twister algorithm. Alternate algorithms are available; see set rng.
See also set seed for designing deterministic programs.

RWeibullPH

Alias for strofreal.
StrOfReal

generate int halfyears = yh(year, halfyear) format halfyears %th
Ym
Convert a year and month into the number of months since the Stata epoch (01jan1960 00:00:00.000).
generate int months = y(year, month) format months %tm
