Firstly, let me accept that I am new to STATA and willing to learn non parametric regression slowly.
I am trying to employ non-parametric regression for my current research work titled "the impact of infrastructure on manufacturing output in Indian perspective". I estimated the model (as given below) using "npregress" available in STATA 15.
Model: Output = f(K, Input, Emp, Electricity)
where, Output, K, Input, Emp and Electricity represent manufacturing output, capital, total input, manpower involved and electricity generation capacity per capita.
Stata command: npregress kernel Output K Input Emp Electricity, vce(bootstrap, reps(100) seed(111))
Firstly, How to interpret the current results?
Secondly, I wanted to know whether "npgraph" works in the multivariate framework or not? I got an error like this: npgraph is only valid with one covariate.
Thirdly, literature suggest logarithmic transformation of output, capital, manpower, input and infrastructure variables. Whether, non-parametric results will take care of logarithmic transformation of the variables on their own?
