Hi Stata Forum
I have been using Patrick Royston's very useful suite of commands to carry out fractional polynomial regressions.
I was wondering if it is possible to use fracpred to calculate predictions for values not actually observed. For example:
Is it possible to get a predicted value for displacement=80, for example?
Many thanks

Code:
. sysuse auto, clear (1978 Automobile Data) . mfp: regress mpg weight displacement foreign [output deleted] . fracpred pred, for(displacement) . sort displacement . l displacement pred in 1/5 +---------------------+ | displa~t pred | |---------------------| 1. | 79 29.81834 | 2. | 85 28.3481 | 3. | 86 28.1325 | 4. | 86 28.1325 | 5. | 89 27.52874 | +---------------------+
