A Procedure to Tabulate and Plot Results after Flexible Modeling of a Quantitative Covariate
Open accessAbstract
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 study of Swedish men on the relation between physical activity and the occurrence of lower urinary tract symptoms.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
