st: residuals after xtmixed

[Thomas Norris <T.Norris2@lboro.ac.uk>]

Dear statalist,

I have ran the commands:

‘xtmixed y x_1 x_2|| studyid: x_1 x_2, cov(unstructured)mle’

‘predict fit’

‘predict res, residuals’

And the first participant's data is below

y                            x_1                        x_2                        fit                          res                         b1                          b2                              b3           
8.188689             .72068154           5.1019341           8.04669               .0442446             .0689545             -.0061089             .0792279             


Can anyone explain why: ‘Y’ minus ‘fit’  does not equal ‘res’ though?  Ie. 8.188689-8.04669= 0.14199 (not 0.0442446)?

Many thanks,

Tom
