I have an unbalanced 3-period panel data set, where the observations are divided into four racial groups. I would like to plot the predicted value of Y (which is variable Y_hat, results from previous regression of Y on X variables) by racial groups over the three periods. The X-axis measures time, 1,2,3; The Y-axis measures Y-hat. In the graph there are four lines, repenting the four racial groups, which measure the mean Y_hat for a particular group at each time. The data set is as following: ------------------------------------------------------------ ID Y_hat time race Y X1 X2 1 1.22 1 1 1 2.03 2 1 1 3.00 3 1 2 1.45 1 2 2 2.67 2 2 2 missing 3 2 ------------------------------------------------------------ I tried the following syntax: ------------ line Y_hat time if race==1 ,c(L) /// || line Y_hat time if race==2 ,c(L) /// || line Y_hat time if race==3 ,c(L) /// || line Y_hat time if race==1 ,c(L) /// || , title("plotting") --------------- The graph from the above syntax includes lots of lines, which is not what I would like to see. I think I must misunderstood something here. I would appreciate if you could give me some suggestions. Thanks for your time!
