Peggy Fan <[email protected]>:
I suspect you need to sort on year_bin, as in the following example.
However, I don't think you are getting what you want from your qfit calls;
did you mean to constrain the estimation of those fits to the ranges specified,
or merely to graph the fits with different types of lines? Note
in the following example there is no data to estimate the later
part of the curve!
webuse grunfeld, clear
replace year=year+15
ren mvalue international
g u=uniform()
sort u
gen y=5*floor(year/5)
egen tag = tag(y)
egen m=mean(international), by(y)
lab var m "International Index 5-Year Average"
loc s sc m y, mc(blue) ms(S) msize(small) c(l)
loc q qfit m y, lc(black) ra(1980 2010)
loc r qfit m y, lc(black) ra(1950 1980)
loc o subtitle("International Index, 1950-2010")
loc o `o' xtitle("Year of Publication")
loc o `o' ytitle("Index")
loc o `o' legend(label (2 "5-Year Average")
loc o `o' row(2) pos(6) size(*.80))
loc o `o' xlabel(1945[10]2011)
loc o `o' ylabel(0[.2]0.7)
loc o `o' xline(1980)
loc o `o' graphr(color(white))
tw (`s') (`q') (`r'), `o' name(i1, replace)
sort y
tw (`s') (`q') (`r'), `o' name(i2, replace)
