st: Recreating Confidence Intervals after Poisson Regression

[Garret Christensen <garretchristensen@yahoo.com>]

Thanks Maarten and Richard for the suggestions. I had seen the Stata delta-rule FAQ page, but the delta rule math has always been a challenge for me. I don't quite get the "g()" function in the FAQ or the exponentiation in Maarten's Tip #3, but in my case at least, 
_b[treatment] - invnormal(0.025)*_se[treatment]
and 
_b[treatment] + invnormal(0.025)*_se[treatment]
serve to reproduce the CIs output by the Poisson regression itself.

Thanks,
Garret
