Prediction with new data in gsem: gets error ' data have changed since estimation'

[Janka Vanschoenwinkel]

Hi all!

I estimated a gsem model. Now I want to apply this model to a new database to see how my result change. I used 'predict', but then Stata tells me that my data have changed and that he can't do this. Is this true or should I do something differently? It should be possible to apply your model on a new dataset, no?

predict probhat*, mu
(option conditional(ebmeans) assumed)
data have changed since estimation;
prediction of empirical Bayes means requires the original estimation data
r(459);

Thanks in advance!
