Others have indicated how to do the LR test with listwise deletion,
which involves dropping the cases for which one or more covariates are
missing. However, you are losing quite a number of observations and it
might be a good idea to look into using a modern missing data analysis
method like multiple imputation, which Stata has built in. Probably
easiest to see the dialog box as there are a lot of steps.
