Dear Nick,
I am aware of the fact that the lpm may lie outsie the [0,1] range but I
would like to be able verify that the estimated lpm is appropriate for the
data I am using. I know that there is standard way of checking it with a
logit model by setting a set of 2 equations and testing the original model
with those additional regressors and running the test on those 2
variables. However, I have no clue how to do it with the lpm or the
probit.
