Richard, that was it! Actually, there was another nlogit that I put under comment stars some days ago because it would not run due to some syntax error. However, obviously that one was written for Stata 9... I tried using that with -version- and version 9: nlogit ... version 9: preditct x1, condpb worked in the end. thank you, stefan bernhard, 2013/8/6 Richard Williams <richardwilliams.ndu@gmail.com>: > Actually, I just checked my old copy of Stata 9.2, and condpb and pb were > legitimate options for it (but apparently disappeared by Stata 10).
