There's extensive data for that on the CD Rom that comes with the ARRL 
Antenna Book in the form of files that can be used with HFTA. The data 
files can be superimposed on the computed vertical pattern, so it's easy 
to see how any chosen antenna height(s) are likely to "play" to the 
selected DX locations. There's text in the Antenna Book about how to do 
that.
