st: RE: var decomposition issues

["Nick Cox" <n.j.cox@durham.ac.uk>]

I doubt your syntax which has response and panel identifier both equal
to x. 

But something like 

gen predicted = . 

egen group = group(id) 
su group, meanonly 

forval i = 1/`=r(max)' { 
	tempvar pred 
	var <whatever> if group == `i' 
	predict `pred' 
	replace predicted = `pred' if group == `i'
	drop `pred' 
} 

should get you closer to where you want to be. See also.

        8/05    Is there a way to tell Stata to try all values of a
                particular variable in a foreach statement without
                specifying them?
