Dennis
Some additional suggestions to previous comments,
First, Make sure you are considering all the other dependent variables in
your regression constant for the graph, So it only depends on the linear and
quadratic term
Second, Perhaps if you try making the graph on the linear prediction first,
and then on the probability prediction, can give you a better idea of the
shape.
Third, Be sure the range you?re your quadratic term contains the inflextion
point.
Fernando

Steve, it is perfectly linear. However, when estimate points on the point it
should show a large bell-shaped curve.
