Sep 7, 2018 at 1:46 comment added Sher Afghan @whuber I read a bit about Gaussian copula and I think I have the basic idea now. Do you have any idea how would I implement this in Stata? I am trying to avoid writing a program for this and probably use some canned program for this. Any leads?
Sep 6, 2018 at 16:45 comment added whuber Your approach sounds like it's tantamount to using a Gaussian copula.
Sep 6, 2018 at 16:22 comment added Sher Afghan @whuber good point! Eventually I need lognormal and beta pair with desired correlation. I was hoping that I will adjust the correlation between normals (using trial and error) to get the desired correlation between lognormal and beta. I have been trying to understand copulas and how to implement this in Stata but things seem to not make sense so far.
Sep 6, 2018 at 0:34 comment added whuber Are you aware that when you begin with two Normal variates of correlation $\rho$ and transform at least one of them nonlinearly--as will be necessary here--the correlation of the transformed variables is unlikely to equal $\rho$? In light of this fact, is your question really about how to transform a Normal variate into a Beta variate or is it about how to create a lognormal, Beta pair with a desired correlation?

Sep 5, 2018 at 22:16 comment added whuber There are many different ways to do this. Perhaps you can get the most control over them by using a copula.
