Re: st: Gof for ologit/oprobit
To add a detail on scatter plots: Ties can be common in this context
and so jittering, or sunflower plots, might be a good idea.

Nobody put in a word for graphical assessment. Scientists like
observed vs fitted plots (calibration plots). Statistically-minded
people usually start with residual vs fitted plots as a health check.
(No news is good news.) It's true, unfortunately, that many of these
plots are more difficult to define, or to work with, for discrete
response models. It's also true, unfortunately, that StataCorp provided
various graphical add-ons for use after -regress- and -anova- but
stopped about there. In the Stata Journal in 2004 I wrote up a
-modeldiag- package, but it doesn't really extend to ordered logit or
ordered probit because of the multiple outcomes. (-findit modeldiag- for
locations.) So, that just added a task to my to-do list.
For ordered *it, I'd want first a cross-plot of observed and predicted
outcomes.
Here is a dopey example with Stata 8.2.
. sysuse auto, clear
. ologit rep78 mpg
. predict predicted, xb
. scatter rep78 predicted
Naturally, you might also want to round the predictions. -tabplot-
from SSC then provides a way of keeping the comparison graphical.
It's possible to add an R^2, naturally, but not necessarily useful.
