Title

[R] fracpoly postestimation -- Postestimation tools for fracpoly

Description

The following postestimation commands are of special interest after fracpoly:

command description ------------------------------------------------------------------------- fracplot plot data and fit from most recently fit fractional polynomial model fracpred create variable containing prediction, deviance residuals, or SEs of fitted values -------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following standard postestimation commands are also available if available after regression_cmd:

command description ------------------------------------------------------------------------- estat AIC, BIC, VCE, and estimation sample summary estimates cataloging estimation results lincom point estimates, standard errors, testing, and inference for linear combinations of coefficients linktest link test for model specification lrtest likelihood-ratio test margins marginal means, predictive margins, marginal effects, and average marginal effects nlcom point estimates, standard errors, testing, and inference for nonlinear combinations of coefficients predict predictions, residuals, influence statistics, and other diagnostic measures predictnl point estimates, standard errors, testing, and inference for generalized predictions test Wald tests of simple and composite linear hypotheses testnl Wald tests of nonlinear hypotheses -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Special-interest postestimation commands

fracplot plots the data and fit, with 95% confidence limits, from the most recently fit fractional polynomial model. The data and fit are plotted against varname, which may be xvar1 or another of the covariates (xvar2, ..., or a variable from xvarlist). If varname is not specified, xvar1 is assumed.

fracpred creates newvar containing the fitted index or deviance residuals for the whole model, or the fitted index or its standard error for varname, which may be xvar1 or another covariate.

Syntax for predict

The behavior of predict following fracpoly is determined by regression_cmd. See the corresponding regression_cmd postestimation entry for available predict options.

Also see information on fracpred below.

Syntax for fracplot and fracpred

Plot data and fit from most recently fit fractional polynomial model

fracplot [varname] [if] [in] [, fracplot_options]

Create variable containing the prediction, deviance residuals, or SEs of fitted values

fracpred newvar [, fracpred_options]

fracplot_options description ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plot marker_options change look of markers (color, size, etc.) marker_label_options add marker labels; change look or position

Fitted line lineopts(cline_options) affect rendition of the fitted line

CI plot ciopts(area_options) affect rendition of the confidence bands

Add plots addplot(plot) add other plots to the generated graph

Y axis, X axis, Titles, Legend, Overall twoway_options any options other than by() documented in [G] twoway_options -------------------------------------------------------------------------

fracpred_options description ------------------------------------------------------------------------- for(varname) compute prediction for varname dresid compute deviance residuals stdp compute standard errors of the fitted values varname -------------------------------------------------------------------------

fracplot is not allowed after fracpoly with clogit and mlogit. fracpred, dresid is not allowed after fracpoly with clogit or mlogit.

Options for fracplot

+------+ ----+ Plot +-------------------------------------------------------------

marker_options affect the rendition of markers drawn at the plotted points, including their shape, size, color, and outline; see [G] marker_options.

marker_label_options specify if and how the markers are to be labeled; see [G] marker_label_options.

+-------------+ ----+ Fitted line +------------------------------------------------------

lineopts(cline_options) affect the rendition of the fitted line; see [G] cline_options.

+---------+ ----+ CI plot +----------------------------------------------------------

ciopts(area_options) affect the rendition of the confidence bands; see [G] area_options.

+-----------+ ----+ Add plots +--------------------------------------------------------

addplot(plot) provides a way to add other plots to the generated graph. See [G] addplot_option.

+-----------------------------------------+ ----+ Y axis, X axis, Titles, Legend, Overall +--------------------------

twoway_options are any of the options documented in [G] twoway_options, excluding by(). These include options for titling the graph (see [G] title_options) and for saving the graph to disk (see [G] saving_option).

Options for fracpred

for(varname) specifies (partial) prediction for variable varname. The fitted values are adjusted to the value specified by the adjust() option in fracpoly.

dresid specifies that deviance residuals be calculated.

stdp specifies calculation of the standard errors of the fitted values varname, adjusted for all the other predictors at the values specified by adjust().

Examples

Setup . sysuse auto . fracpoly: logit foreign mpg displ weight, compare degree(1)

Plot fitted values against mpg . fracplot

Setup . fracpoly: regress mpg weight -2 displ -1

Predict fitted index for weight . fracpred wfit, for(weight)

Predict fitted index for displ . fracpred dfit, for(displ)

Predict deviance residuals . fracpred dr, dresid
