Subject   st: problem with predicted probabilities
Date   Sun, 2 Feb 2014 11:58:46 +0200

Dear Statalist
I want to obtain some predicted probabilities after logistic
regression, as attached. I want to use the predicted probabilities in
my next step instead of observed prevalence since the latter are
adjusted for other (socio-demographic) factors.
My problem is that the when I run - estat classification- it giving 0s
for + classification. I am sure I am doing it the wrong way somewhere.
Please see below output. All variables used in the model have been
recorded to be binary 1/0

Thanks for any help!
