Betreff: Re: st: AW: lincom
Dear Martin,
Thank you for the posting. I apologize for being unclear and also because I
am asking very basic questions.
I am not sure I understand the purpose of this command after let's say a
linear regression.
Let's say we have:
xi: regress continvar i.catvar with 3 levels
the regression table will show levels 2 and 3 and compare them with the
reference level 1 of the categorical variable. Why would you run the lincom
command. I am not sure I understand its purpose. Would you be able to
compare level 2 with level 3 with the lincom command?
Regarding the anova post hoc I meant the following:
If I do a one-way ANOVA like below:
oneway continvar catvar, scheffe
I would get the an F-value and p-value which will be telling me whether
there is a sig. difference between any of the category levels, whereas the
-scheffe- option will do the "post hoc"- pairwise comparisons between the
groups 1&2, 1&3 and 2&3 and tell me which groups are actually different.
Are the objectives of the lincom command similar the scheffe option in the
above examples? Do I have it all wrong?
Thank you very much.
Nikolaos
