Re: st: SE erroes for xtmixed-predict fitted

[Ricardo Ovaldia <ovaldia@yahoo.com>]

Thank you Steve.

I did see Steve's post, however when I tried doing this, I got the same SE for every patient when I leave out the random slope term i.e.:

xtmixed cholest i.drug month || patid

So I was not sure that it was working correctly. When I included the random slope term, I get slightly different values for each patient but still very similar to each other. Is that what I should expect?
