Reproducible. If you run a command after -regress- (in this case, -mean-) you will lose some or all of the stored results needed to run -adjust-.

Incidentally, you can name a predicted variable in the -predict- command, as below. 

The solution is to do all the -predict-ing and -adjust-ing first, then run other commands.
