I am trying to find out about how to test the relationship between the
results of two samples in a binary logistical regression.
In other words: Can the holdout-sample-results predict the original

if date1 is blank then whatever is entered in date2 should stay.  But
if date1 has an entry then I want date2 to appear blank.  I suppose I
