Thank you for your help, it's much appreciated. Would you be able to detail what the syntax you attached does exactly?

Josephine <[email protected]>:
Consider a regression using a spline in age (help mkspline) and its interaction:

sysuse nlsw88, clear
g w=race==1
mkspline a_ = age, cubic nknots(4)
foreach v of var a_* {
 gen w`v'=w*`v'
 }
reg wage a_* w wa_*
predict what
sc what age

> Hi, I am using Stata 10 and want to model the association between age and a continuous variable, but also look at group differences in this association. The groups are symptomatic and control groups. I have used lowess smoothing to create graphs of my data, but don't know how to use lowess to obtain a statistical model.
