Re: st: prvalue and loop rest(grmean)

Dear Richard

Sorry, for too briefly explaining my problem. I think that I am running 
into two problems in doing my analysis. 

First, I would like to use the conditional mean depending on all possible 
values that I have for x. However, grmean does not work at all, probably 
because I have 3 values that are run through the equation (x, x^2, x^3). 
All of them should be varied to account for the cubic effect. Probably 
that is why grmean is not working... 
So, what I try to do is vary the means of all other variables, depending 
on the value of x, as otherwise unrealistic combinations would be the 
result. (for instance some of the variables are always high or always low, 
depending on the value of x).
Second part of the problem appears to be that I might have values that are 
between 4 and 5 for instance. However, from what I know, grmean is only 
the group mean, and can only be assigned to full numbers like 4 or 5. The 
result is that a lot of cases are left out in the analysis. 

I hope this made the problem a little bit clearer, thanks a lot for your 
comments and for your assistance, really great!!

Tobias
