Carissa, consider ROC curves (the classification tables are not very useful in my experience). ROC curves show the trade-off between sensitivity and specificity. You would usually want population estimates of these probabilities, so ignoring the weights wouldn't be wise.

My previous post describes how you can compute residuals. These are inherently unweighted, because observations with the same covariate pattern will have the same predicted value, and so have only two values of residuals (for events and non-events). If you are comparing mean residuals, you might choose to weight them. See Korn & Graubard, Analysis of Health Surveys, Wiley, 1999, pp 105-115.

Steve and Joao,



Thank you for your suggestions and the information. I had
found the goodness of fit measure do file from your discussions (svylogitgof) and thought there might be something similar for the estat clas or residuals for svy.



All I was trying to say in my note is that the strata and
PSUs account for so little difference in the outcome that if it were possible to run residuals or classification tables using just pweights, I wanted to keep
that option open. Such as:



xi: logistic aepart i.agecat i.Incomequ i.HIGHEDUC female [pweight=FAWT]



But it appears that I will have the same issues. Thank you
so much for your responses and help.

Dear Steve,

I think that the option -predicit- with -residuals- is not valid in
Stata 10.1 too.

*****begin example*******
webuse nhanes2f
svyset psuid [pweight=finalwgt], strata(stratid)
svy: logistic  diabetes sex race age
predict r, residuals
******end example*******

Please Steve, what is your opinion about her note:

"(Note: The strata and PSUs, when analyzed separately, provide design
 effects almost equal to 1 so the effects in my model are almost
entirely from the weighting. So, I
could get results -except for standard errors - using just the weights.)"

This make sense for you?

Thanx and Best Regards,

Joao Lima

Carissa:

-help logistic postestimation- will show you which commands are available after -svy: logistic-. The -esttat clas- command is not one of them in Stata 9 or 10. -predict- with a -residuals- option is valid in Stata 10.1 but not in Stata 9. You _can_ compute your own weighted survey - linktest-
of fit.

predict hat, xb
gen hat2 = hat*hat
svy: logistic aepart hat hat2 //link test is the significance of phat2

You can also construct ROC Curves. Use -logistic- with fweights, the survey
weights rounded to the nearest integer.  See the thread at:
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2007-08/ msg00739.html#_jmp0_ .

StataList:

I am conducting logistic regression for a complex survey design using Stata version 9. I have found in your past discussions and the user manuals that many postestimation tests are not appropriate with svy commands. I have not found discussion on classification tables and residuals and have been unable to get the following commands to work either with an svy command or
by just using the pweights in Stata.

I have been able to get these to work in another software program using the weights, but I'm concerned it isn't appropriately applied. Can someone tell me: 1) if these tests are appropriate with complex survey data or just pweights, and 2) if so,what are the commands or where would I find them? or
3) if not appropriate, a reference I might cite?

(Note: The strata and PSUs, when analyzed separately, provide design
effects almost equal to
1 so the effects in my model are almost entirely from the weighting. So, I could get results -except for standard errors - using just the weights.)

Cheers, Carissa
