If I am understood by your question, you may try sensitivity and specificity for this purpose.

Hello Stata users~
Happy 2012.
Here's my situation:
I have a data set in which I would like to examine the odds ratios and risk ratios of the variable (e.g., race/ethnicity) on an outcome of crime (yes/no outcome) and also examine them for different levels of the variable (white/black/Hispanic/etc.).
Also, I'm not sure logistic/logit regression is what we want to use. We are not attempting to build a model, per se, to explain the outcome, but looking at the risk/odds for being in various subgroups. Is there a cross-tab function that allows one to do this?
Thanks for any feedback.
Sincerely,
Anthony
