Re: st: How to Graph - Exponential model

["Heather Sun, MD" <heather.sun@stanford.edu>]

Yes, I tried:

 twoway (function _b[b1:_cons] * _b[b2:_cons] ^ x, range(x)) (scatter y x)

But it only graphed y-values for half of the x-values and in a very scattered skewed way (not a nice exponential line as expected).

did you try -twoway function- to get your line?
