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.
