Re: st: Predicting number of cases

[Austin Nichols <austinnichols@gmail.com>]

Christiana Titaley <christiana.titaley@gmail.com> :
Use -predict- e.g.

u if time==1 using http://www.stata-press.com/data/r11/grunfeld.dta, clear
poisson invest mvalue kstock, r
predict hat
li hat mvalue, clean
u if time==2 using http://www.stata-press.com/data/r11/grunfeld.dta, clear
predict hat
li hat mvalue, clean

But can you explain the rationale for what you are doing?
