Hi All
I have a question on predict command.
If I run a poisson regression such as
poisson absdays male black hispanic bluecollarworkers
nohealthinsurance backpain comorbidconditions
where all the independent variables are dummy
variables.
absdays=constant + b1*male + b2*black + b3*hispanic +
b4*bluecollarworkers + b5*nohealthinsurance +
b6*backpain + b7*comorbidconditions
If from the output only black, backpain, and
comorbidconditions were statistically significant, can
I run the predict command to obtain
the predicted number of absdays using only the
significant variables?
In otherwords can I get the predicted absdays as
constant + b2*black + b6*backpain +
b7*comorbidconditions
I know one option is to use the generate command but I
would like to know if we can do this using predict
command too.
Thank you for your time.
Regards
Anju
