Hi all,

I am having some trouble with replicability using the corr2data command to simulate autocorrelated data.

Basically, I want to perform 100 replications of simulated datasets with autocorrelated variables, each replication using a seed going from 1 to 100. However, I have noticed that corr2datais obtaining exactly the same data from consecutive even-odd seeds (i.e. the data from seed=2 is the same as the data from seed=3, and this happens with seeds 4-5, 6-8, ...etc). I attach a photo with the pvalue of a variable in a regression to illustrate this case, along with the number of repetition and the corresponding seed.

Has anyone noticed this and/or why does this occur? The obvious solution for me is to use other seed structure, but I still don't find this normal and want to figure out if its a programming error.

Thanks,
Christian
