This paper considers a class of simultaneous equation models with both discrete and continuous random variables based on normally distributed latent random variables. The model set forth here contains ...

Richard A. Kronmal and Arthur V. Peterson, Jr. The alias method of Walker is a clever, new, fast method for generating random variables from an arbitrary, specified discrete distribution. A simple ...
