Dear Nils

  When I wrote -xi3-, I don't think these models existed (or if they
did, I did not have them in mind). So, unfortunately, -xi3- does not
immediately work with programs like -xtmixed-, or -nlogit-, because it
gets confused by the pipes -||-. However, you can still use -xi3- if
you do it in a two step process. For example, here is using -xi3- in a
one step process to do a regression

. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)

. xi3: regress price  e.rep78 g.foreign
e.rep78           _Irep78_1-5         (naturally coded; _Irep78_1 omitted)
g.foreign         _Iforeign_0-1       (naturally coded; _Iforeign_0 omitted)

      Source |       SS       df       MS              Number of obs =      69
-------------+------------------------------           F(  5,    63) =    0.19

Instead, we can first use -xi3- to create the coded variables....

. xi3 e.rep78 g.foreign
e.rep78           _Irep78_1-5         (naturally coded; _Irep78_1 omitted)
g.foreign         _Iforeign_0-1       (naturally coded; _Iforeign_0 omitted)

And then we can include the coded variables into the model, as shown below.

. regress price  _Irep78_2 _Irep78_3 _Irep78_4 _Irep78_5 _Iforeign_1

      Source |       SS       df       MS              Number of obs =      69
-------------+------------------------------           F(  5,    63) =    0.19
       Model |  8372481.37     5  1674496.27           Prob > F      =  0.9670
    Residual |   568424478    63  9022610.75           R-squared     =  0.0145
-------------+------------------------------           Adj R-squared = -0.0637

I know it is a kludge, but I hope it works for you.
