Hello,

In my analysis, a leverage equation is estimated from which a firm's estimated level of debt is calculated. Now, I have to compare the fitted values from the regression analysis (leverage) with the actual values of leverage.

Could you please help me how I can conduct this study?

thanks in advance.

You can obtain the residual which are defined as actual minus fitted, so you can compare in this sense. Go to the workfile and click on proc, there you have the option make residual series, name the series and click ok. Otherwise you can go to view, click on actual, fitted, residual and you will find out a lot of options to compare actual and fitted values. it may be useful for you to check the table. :)
