Description
The following postestimation commands are available for ztp:
command description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) lrtest is not appropriate with svy estimation results.
Syntax for predict
predict [type] newvar [if] [in] [, statistic nooffset]
statistic description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main
n number of events; the default
ir incidence rate
cm estimate of conditional mean, E(y_j|y_j > 0)
xb linear prediction
stdp standard error of the linear prediction
score first derivative of the log likelihood with respect to xb
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
These statistics are available both in and out of sample; type predict
... if e(sample) ... if wanted only for the estimation sample.

----+ Main +-------------------------------------------------------------
n, the default, calculates the predicted number of events, which is
exp(xb) if neither offset() nor exposure() was specified when the
model was fit; exp(xb + offset) if offset() was specified; or
exp(xb) x exposure if exposure() was specified.
ir calculates the incidence rate exp(xb), which is the predicted number
of events when exposure is 1. This is equivalent to specifying both
n and nooffset options.
cm calculates the estimate of conditional mean of n, given n>0, i.e.,
E(n|n>0,x), which is exp(xb)/P(n > 0|x) if neither offset() nor
exposure() was specified when the zero-truncated negative binomial
model was fit, or exp(xb + offset)/P(n > 0|x) if offset() was
specified, or exp(xb)/P(n > 0|x)*exposure if exposure() was
specified.
xb calculates the linear prediction, which is xb if neither offset() nor
exposure() was specified; xb + offset if offset() was specified; or
xb + ln(exposure) if exposure() was specified; see nooffset below.
stdp calculates the standard error of the linear prediction.
score calculates the equation-level score, the derivative of the log
likelihood with respect to the linear prediction.
nooffset is relevant only if you specified offset() or exposure() when
you fit the model. It modifies the calculations made by predict so
that they ignore the offset or exposure variable; the linear
prediction is treated as xb rather than as xb + offset or
xb + ln(exposure). Specifying predict ..., nooffset is equivalent to
specifying predict ..., ir.
