Abstract.   Occasionally, there is a need to compare the predictive accuracy of several fitted logit (logistic) or probit models by comparing the areas under the corresponding receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Although Stata currently does not have a ready routine for comparing two or more ROC areas generated from these models, this article describes how these comparisons can be performed using Stata’s roccomp command.
