Re: st: RE: Can't store estimates after logistic regression

Please do not send me private messages asking for advice, except as the Statalist FAQ provide (i.e. for paid consultation). I'm not familiar with

Thanks, I tried both models and they are working.
I also ran a -rocreg- and -rocregplot- model that returned a p value of 0.08
The roccomp model returned a p value of 0.008

Which one should I consider here?
