The default is to have this set by Stata, based on the computer clock. The default is to have this set by Stata. Each time Stata is launched, the seed is set to 123456789. The state of the seed is updated each time a new random number is drawn.
(1) Chapter 4, p. 137, second sentence of the third paragraph
Then \(Y_{1}|Y_{2}\sim{N}\left\{ 0,(1-\rho^{2})\right\}\) and \(Y_{2}|Y_{1}\sim{N}\left\{ 0,(1-\rho^{2})\right\}\). Then \(Y_1 | Y_2 \sim N \left\{\rho Y_2 , ( 1 - \rho^2 ) \right\}\) and \(Y_2 | Y_1 \sim N \left\{\rho Y_1 , ( 1 - \rho^2 ) \right\}\).
(1,2) Chapter 7, p. 213, in the sentence below (7.2), the definitions of A and B should be switched
