Wolney Conde <[email protected]> :
On the contrary, Stata does allow you to use -predict-, but of course
using -poisson- to predict probabilities can result in predicted
probabilities in excess of 1:
sysuse auto, clear
qui logit foreign mpg, r
predict p1
qui poisson foreign mpg, r
predict p2
sc p2 p1
