Re: st: prediction of model using svy-commands
Michael,
your solution works out fine, thank you. I created dummys for my
variables, and then set version to 10.1.
However, in their 2006 "Regression Models for Categorical Dependent
Variables Using Stata" Long and Freeze says that "Unfortunately, our
SPost commands do not work when the svy prefix is specified." So, now
my question is whether I can trust the confidence intervals that the
prvalue produces?
Grateful if anyone could answer this.
Best wishes
Rune

Rune,
I was hoping somebody with Stata 11.0 would answer you. That not
being the case ...
1. On J Scott Long's SPost web site, he says "Stata 11 news: The
package spost9_ado does not work with factor variables. We have
updated prchange (v 1.8.1) and countfit (0.8.1) to work with Stata
11. We are still working with StataCorp to make SPost work with
mlogit under Stata 11. In the short run, the easiest thing is run
mlogit under version control. So instead of: "mlogit y a b c" use
"version 10.1: mlogit y a b c" Then the SPost commands should work
fine. If you encounter other problems using Stata 11, let us know.
10Sep09." (http://www.indiana.edu/~jslsoc/spost.htm)
2. I presume you were aware of this and that's why you did not use
factor variables directly in -prvalue-. Nevertheless, -prvalue- is
complaining about factor variables. Have you tried creating dummy
variables and using those instead? You can use, e.g., -tab
GOLDogrestr, gen(GOLD)- to do this. You don't have to try it with
the whole model ... unless it works with a partial model.
3. You could also try what he suggests for mlogit: "version 10.1:
svy: regress y a b c".
4. If I knew how to calculate confidence intervals for predictions I
would tell you. Perhaps somebody else will chime in. Short of that,
I can tell you that prvalue.ado calls _peciml.ado to find the upper
and lower bounds, and you can see it with -viewsource _peciml.ado-.

Hi, I'm using stata 11.0 on a Mac with os 10.6. I'm using spost 9.
After setting the survey parameters I try running this regression:
/svyset [pweight=vekt_alle], strata(kilde)/
/svy: regress log_kost i.GOLDogrestr i.kjonn_omv i.smoke_bin
alder2006 i.utdannelse_omv if har364dg==1 & n474==100/
when I try using prvalue:
/prvalue, x(_IGOLDogres_2=0 _IGOLDogres_3=0 _IGOLDogres_4=0
_Ikjonn_omv_1=0.415 _Ismoke_bin_1=0.559 _Iutdannels_1=0.479
_Iutdannels_2=0.3047 alder2006=61.868) /
I get this error:
/factor variables and time-series operators not allowed/
However, if I try doing this without the svy-prefix, spost manages
to predict nicely. I'm not that skilled, so perhaps there is some
kind of obvious error in my commands?
Best wishes,
Rune

What version of Stata are you using, what version of spost, what
command line are you using, and what do you mean by "not
possible"? In Stata 10.1, using spost9, I just ran -svy: reg
depvar age gender- followed by -prvalue, x(age=50)- and got a
sensible answer from -prvalue- (I did not, however, verify that
the answer was correct).

Dear statalist-members,
I'm running a model (multiple linear regression) using the /svy/-
prefix to adjust for a stratified sample. The outcome is log-
transformed due to large left-skewing.
I would like to do some predictions using prvalue from the spost-
package. However, this is not possible when I've used the survey-
version of/ regress/. Does anybody know a simple solution to
this? I've already tried running the model without svy, but
specifying pweight and vce(cluster clustervar), but then I don't
get reliable confidence intervals.
Grateful for any answers (in simple language for a non-statician)
Best wishes,
Rune Nielsen
