Re: st: question
Having re-read your question I am guessing that you are dealing with
the following problem: You estimated a linear regression on an explained
variable that has been log-transformed and you are trying to get
predictions and standard errors in the original non-transformed metric.
If that is the case than there is a much simpler and much more elegant
solution to that problem.
The problem is that
