Shehzad,
Please note the word conditional in the sentence "There is no command for a conditional fixed-effects model". This means that you cannot compute conditional probit.
However, you could estimate fixed-effects model in any non-linear model. The problem is the number of parameters (dummies) increases with the sample size (incidental parameter problem). This could be a minor problem in a panel with large-T.
Anyway, take a look of Greene's paper "Behavior of the Fixed Effects Estimator in Nonlinear Models" available in his webpage http://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~wgreene/, and Arellano and Hahn's paper "Understanding Bias in Nonlinear Panel Models: Some Recent Developments" available at Arellano's webpage http://www.cemfi.es/~arellano/.
Rodrigo.

Asunto: st: Re: Fixed effects after xtprobit
"There is no command for a conditional fixed-effects model, as there does not exist a sufficient statistic allowing the fixed effects to be conditioned out of the likelihood." (from -h xtprobit-)
