Hi All
I've run the follwoing mixed effects model with linear splines to look at change in multimorbidity in individuals over time (4 splines for 4 periods: wave1 = 1982-1989, wave2 = 1989-1999, wave3 = 1999-2009 & wave4= 2009-2015):
The mixed effects model (growth curve analysis with linear splines):
(wavex is coded as 0, 1, 2, 3 & 4)
The model:
Computing standard errors:
Mixed-effects ML regression Number of obs = 18,615
Group variable: NSHD_ID Number of groups = 3,723
Obs per group:
min = 5
avg = 5.0
max = 5
Wald chi2(5) = 2057.52
Log likelihood = -29275.269 Prob > chi2 = 0.0000

LR test vs. linear model: chi2(3) = 7825.50 Prob > chi2 = 0.0000
I generally use margins & marginsplot to graph results from mixed-effects modelling, but I'm running into issues. So in the interest of time as I need to get a poster ready, I'm trying to use graph tw for this particular model. However, I'm a bit unsure about the details of the syntax. I'm trying to plot a graph which will show two lines (for males & females - males is the reference group in the above model) nut I'm unsure how to correctly specify the range. What I have so far :
Thanks
