To predict  probabilities and 95% CIs of the predicted probabilities after
a multivariate  logistic model, I have previously used the following
predict  command:

logistic y x1 x2  x3
predict lr_index,  index
predict se_index,  stdp

gen p_hat =  exp(lr_index)/(1 +exp(lr_index))
gen lb = lr_index -  invnorm(0.975)*se_index
gen ub = lr_index +  invnorm(0.975)*se_index
gen plb =  exp(lb)/(1+exp(lb))
gen pub =  exp(ub)/(1+exp(ub))


bysort x1: tabstat  p_hat plb pub

Dear  Statalist,



However, this code  does not allow me to predict probabilities,
by(x1), while keeping the other  covariates held constant, as the adjust
command does.  It seems that  keeping the other covariates held constant
while examining the predicted  probabilities individual covariates is
useful.  Is it possible for me  to do that?

Thanks in  advance.
