Re: st: SimpleSlopes in Multilevel Models

[Stas Kolenikov <skolenik@gmail.com>]

If -zpos- is a binary variable with values 0/1, then the relation for
low levels is given by the coefficient itself, and for high levels, by

lincom _b[ ZSchaufelishort ] + _b[ EExPOS ]

which would invoke the covariance matrix behind the scenes. This can
also be done with -margins-, and the corresponding plots, with
-marginsplot-.
