Re: st: dirifit

It works properly when using 
http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/c/citybudget.dta.
I've got estimation based on 392 observations (there are 37 missings out 
of 429).
Hence, the problem seems to be in my dependent variable.
In order to be sure, I've generated random distributed independent but 
still get estimation for 60 cases.
Is there any possibility in -dirifit- to find out, which these 60 
observations are?
