Stata Logit
The logit command runs a logistic regression.
Compare to the logistic command, which always shows the odds ratios, while the or option must be specified on logit to show those.

Usage
This example is per UCLA: Statistical Consulting Group:
. logit admit gre gpa i.rank
Iteration 0: log likelihood = -249.98826
Iteration 1: log likelihood = -229.66446
Iteration 2: log likelihood = -229.25955
Iteration 3: log likelihood = -229.25875
Iteration 4: log likelihood = -229.25875
Logistic regression Number of obs = 400
LR chi2(5) = 41.46
Prob > chi2 = 0.0000
Log likelihood = -229.25875 Pseudo R2 = 0.0829

Estimates
The estimates can be accessed through any of the following commands...
predict creates a variable storing the predicted probability for each case
margins displays the marginal predicted probabilities
