-nl- will ignore explanatory variables after the first, since log4
uses only one x, so your regression only uses x1. For example:
sysuse auto
nl log4 weight length, nolog
nl log4 weight length mpg, nolog
tw function _b[b0]+_b[b1]/(1+exp(-_b[b2]*(x-_b[b3])))
If you want a multivariate version, you need to program it yourself.
Or add 2 to your dependent variable, and divide by 4, so it lies in
the unit interval, then use -glm- with family(binomial), link(logit),
and robust VCE; see http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/stat/logit.html
