Re: st: fitting curves in regplot

[Arti Pandey <rtpandey@yahoo.com>]

Thanks Nick. I meant Nick J. Cox, the author of the paper I have mentioned.
I am using regplot after -glm-. My question was can straight lines and smooth 
hyperbolas be generated in -regplot- with -mspline-.

Sorry, but I don't understand precisely what your question is. Note
that there are several Nicks active on the list.

-twoway mspline- is able to mimic straight lines, as a piecewise cubic
can be piecewise linear. Consider

. set obs 100
obs was 0, now 100

. gen x = _n

. gen y = 42 + 32 * x

. twoway line y x || mspline y x
