st: RE: Re: id-level predictions in panel data after regression

["Hoffman, George" <ghoffman@mcw.edu>]

Joseph Coveney-
I think I may  not have clarified this correctly.
My data are structured as: id	time	y	x
xtset id time
the regressions i'm looking for are the overall y vs x, and the id-specific y vs x
the slopes are then dy/dx, not dy/dtime

does this make any sense?
Thank you
George

On a related topic to my graphing query (which was answered so expertly and
expeditiously by eric booth): 
I have panel data, multiple observations per id, and wish to generate within-id
linear fits.
	xtreg y x, fe  
will produce an average within-id regression, and following it by 
	predict p, xb
will generate the average within-id predictor. But I want an id-specific
predictor for each id.

	xtmixed y x || id:, cov(unstruc)
will produce a multilevel id-level regression, and
	predict ypred, fit level(id)
will produce fits within id's, but each fir has the same slope.

There must be a way to get a set of id-specific predictors based on independent
id-level regression (?)

To do that, you need to put the slope variable into your random effects
equation, too.
