How do I calculate least square means in Stata?

Currently there is no convenient command in Stata to calculate the least square means, but one may use the adjust command to compute them manually. LSMEANS are just the predicted linear combination xb while holding the other covariates at values 1/n, where n is the number of categories in the corresponding discrete covariates. For continuous covariates, one just holds their values at their means when making the prediction.

Following is an example using the auto dataset:

 . sysuse auto, clear
 (1978 Automobile Data)
 
 . anova mpg foreign rep78
 
                            Number of obs =      69     R-squared     =  0.2825
                            Root MSE      = 5.16246     Adj R-squared =  0.2256

There are five outcomes in the variable rep78. The values of the dummy variables _Irep* are held as 1/5 = 0.2.

Given that adjust is just another form of predict, we could also use predict to reproduce the results.
