Hi Statalist,
I'm using the -fracpoly- command to model the log relative risk of an
event as a function of a single continuous exposure variable, where
the reference category for my relative risk is those with an exposure
of 0 (i.e. my log RR at 0 exposure is 0). So my command is:
-fracpoly: regress logRR exposure [weight=weight]-
I cannot see how to force the fitted fractional polynomial function
through the origin. Even if I use the -nocon- command to supress the
constant term, the transformations of the exposure variable mean that
the fitted value at 0 isn't 0.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks,
Colin Angus
