Stata doesn't store any results after -adjust-. You'll probably have to
write some code that does whatever you want -adjust- to do and save the
results. If you are using a model other than -regress- you have to take
care to take the means of the predicted linear predictors first and than
transform them to the desired metric, in order to exactly reproduce the
results from -adjust-. See the example below and (Buis 2007)
*--------- begin example ------------
sysuse auto, clear
reg pri mpg
adjust ,by(rep78)
predict xb, xb
levelsof rep78
local levs "`r(levels)'"
foreach i of local levs {
sum xb if rep78 == `i'
}
drop xb
logit foreign mpg
adjust ,by(rep78) pr
predict xb, xb
levelsof rep78
local levs "`r(levels)'"
foreach i of local levs {
sum xb if rep78 == `i', meanonly
di %9.6g invlogit(`r(mean)')
}
*------------ end example --------------
