-levpredict- is from SSC. Please remember...
I don't know why intuition is invoked here. You can look at the code,
and it's a short but sweet program. -levpredict- is indifferent to
quite what lies beyond the fitted and residual values.
In any case, what do you mean by "including the effect of the absorbed
variable"?
