In the case of -logit- and -lstat-, choosing 
to divide predicted probabilities at p = 0.5
is a little arbitrary, but appealing on 
symmetry grounds. 

Can you say what people do, or what would
you justify, for reducing predictions from
-oprobit- to integer categories? Any 
notion of percent correct seems a bit more 
elusive in the ordinal case. Why not 
just -predict, xb- and calculate a
concordance correlation? Or even 
draw a graph?
