RE: st: SimpleSlopes in Multilevel Models

[Cameron McIntosh <cnm100@hotmail.com>]

If -zpos- is metric, you can generally do:
b[ZSchaufelishort] | zpos value = b[ZSchaufelishort] + b[EExPOS]*zpos value

for as many different values as you want. I assume that can be implemented via -lincom- and would invoke the ACM.
