Sami:
One way to see if your approach makes sense is to create predicted values, graph them and 
see if they make sense, like in the example below. I think it follows your procedure and the 
graphs look fine.

HTH,
Maarten

*-------------- begin example ------------
sysuse auto, clear
mkspline mpg1 20 mpg2=mpg

gen forXmpg1 = foreign*mpg1
gen forXmpg2 = foreign*mpg2
reg price mpg1 mpg2 forXmpg1 forXmpg2 foreign

predict pricehat1
twoway line pricehat1 mpg if foreign==0, sort  || /*
    */ line pricehat1 mpg if foreign==1, sort  /*
    */ ytitle("predicted price") name(a) /*
    */ legend(label(1 "domestic") label(2 "foreign"))

gen mpg1b = mpg1 - 12
gen forXmpg1b = foreign*mpg1b
reg price mpg1b mpg2 forXmpg1b forXmpg2 foreign
    
predict pricehat2
twoway line pricehat2 mpg if foreign==0, sort  || /*
    */ line pricehat2 mpg if foreign==1, sort  /*
    */ ytitle("predicted price") name(b) /*
    */ legend(label(1 "domestic") label(2 "foreign"))

Subject: st: mkspline and reg


I 've a variable age which takes values from 20 to 60,
I have an outcome y and a dummy variable represnting gender

I would like to fit a regresion model using linear splines, including an
interraction effect

I want to test if there are two different slopes before 40 and after 40, and
I am also interested on the intercept , I consider the following approach

1/ First create linear splines

mkspline age1 40 age2 = age

2/Second  in order to have intercept at age=40

generate age1a = age1 -40

3/
I fit a regression model

xi: regress y i.sex*age1a i.sex*age2

Could you please comment on this approach?
