Lin-Han <chianghlh@gatech.edu> has a question involving the calculation of
predicted values after the user-written -spreg- command:

The formulas for spatial predictors are described in section 6.3 of the
working paper by Drukker, Prucha, and Raciborski (2011). The limited
information predictor involves several matrix-inverse operations, each running
in O(n^3) time. For n=47,000, my rough calculation puts each matrix-inverse
operation at 67 hours.
