Hi Maarten,
Thanks for the link. I read it but I wonder - does perfect
prediction result in exclusion of those observations?
Hi Richard,
I checked again and my runs aren't different. I simply
replaced the -reg- with -logit- and re-run the command, and
get a different no. of obs. I am not sure how useful would
pasting my command be for you because there's really
nothing different between the two commands that I am
running (except the estimation method.)
