Default seeds in Stata -
i gather the stata manual on rng seed value seed
123456789 every time stata launched. questions are
- was way or default
seed
different in older versions (i'm particularly concerned version 8) - is default
sortseed
123456789?
to answer own questions:
going @ least version 8 default seed
123456789
nick cox points out in comments above doesn't mean versions of stata produce same sequence of random numbers based on seed because random number generator has changed on time.
the default sortseed seems 1001
:
. query sortseed . di r(sortseed) 1001
