A Procedure to Tabulate and Plot Results after Flexible Modeling of a Quantitative Covariate

The use of flexible models for the relationship between a quantitative covariate and the response variable can be limited by the difficulty in interpreting the regression coefficients. In this article, we present a new postestimation command, xblc, that facilitates tabular and graphical presentation of these relationships. Cubic splines are given special emphasis. We illustrate the command through several worked examples using data from a large...
