Return values

Scalars r(N) Number of observations used r(chi2_p) p value of the chi-squared statistic r(chi2) Chi-squared statistic

Examples

sysuse auto

probit foreign weight mpg

skprobit foreign weight mpg

The result shows that the Ho (Normality) hypothesis of the residuals is rejected in this example. The residuals are not normal in this case.

webuse lbw

probit low age lwt race smoke ptl ht ui

skprobit low age lwt race smoke ptl ht ui

The result shows that the Ho (Normality) hypothesis of the residuals is not rejected in this example. Hence the residuals are normal in this case.

webuse union

probit union age grade not_smsa

skprobit union age grade not_smsa

The result shows that the Ho (Normality) hypothesis of the residuals is rejected in this example. The residuals are not normal in this case.
