Yulia,
Thank you so much for your quick reply. I will give it a try!

Subject: Re: st: Postestimation using different data
Nancy West <[email protected]> wants to validate a model fitted by
the
-logit- command:
> Using version 9, I've run a logit model and now want to validate it.
> I am using another dataset to do so.
So Nancy has two datasets -- one used for estimation and another she
wants to use for validation. Nancy can validate the model by using
option -all- with -estat classification-.
. use <first_data_set>
. logit (or logistic) <outcome> ...
. use <second_data_set>
. estat classification, all
If the validation dataset has different variable names than the
estimation dataset, Nancy would need to rename the variables first.
Also, Nancy is not able to reproduce an example from Stata 9 of -estat
gof-:

I really want.
This example should not have been in the documentation; it was removed
from the Stata 10 documentation. If Nancy wants a classification table,
she will have to do it by hand:
. matrix score linear_prediction = <matrixname>
. gen predicted_p = invlogit(linear_prediction)
. gen classification = (predicted_p >= #)
. tabulate classification <outcome>
where Nancy substitutes for <matrixname> the matrix containing the
coefficient estimates, for # the cutoff, such as 0.5, and for <outcome>
the dependent variable name.
