It is important to be able to generate correlated binary data in an efficient, easily programmed manner for, among other things, the generation of large bootstrap samples. In this note nothing more than the basic ingredient of the uniform random number generator is required for simulating binary data from the most commonly occurring correlation structures.

Key Words: Autoregressive correlation structure • Bootstrap • Correlated Bernoulli variates • Exchangeable correlation structure • Generalised estimating equation • Stationary M-dependent structure
