Re: st: exponential extrapolation

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

This looks more as if you have an exponential decline, not an
exponential distribution.

As with your previous questions, fit an appropriate model using one or
more of -regress- after transformation, -glm- with log link, or -nl-.
Then use -predict-.
