Dear all,
I would like to fill the missing value in var1 based on the trend of the 
same variable (=var1) instead of using additional independent variable. 
However, "ipolate" requires an independent variable. How can I fill the 
missing value based on the trend of the variable itself? I would like to use 
exponential decay for var1, but a linear trend is also fine.
id  var1
1    45
2    37
3    32
4    31
5    17
6
7    3
8    1
Thank you in advance.
Mike.
