Re: st: graph interaction in count models

[D Ma <lrpwhn@yahoo.com>]

Hi Maarten,

Thanks for the advice.  It looks like STATA cannot finish the programming when it involves things like c.grade or c.tenure##c (I also don't know why there were question marks ?? in your codes).  Could you please resend, possibly in a format like .pdf?   In addition, suppose x2 moderates the effect of x1 on y, I am looking the the differences of the predicted probabilities in three scenarios: (1) -1 SD(x2), mean(x2), and +1 SD(x2).  Thanks!

Best regards,

Dali

*------------------ begin example --------------------
webuse nlswork, clear
xtset idcode year
gen black = race == 2 if inlist(race, 1, 2)

xtgee wks_work c.tenure##c.grade south black, /// 
      family(nb) link(log)

preserve
replace south = 0
replace black = 0
keep if e(sample)
bys grade: keep if _n == 1
expand 5
drop tenure
bys grade: gen tenure = (_n -1)*5
predict wks_hat
separate wks_hat, by(tenure)
twoway line wks_hat? wks_hat?? grade, sort
restore
*--------------------- end example ------------------

Hope this helps,
