You can also use -adjust- after -xtlogit-; it's simpler and more direct, as
illustrated by the (corrected) do-file below.

You can get what you want by generating extra observations containing
covariates with values where you want them for the predictions, and then set
the random effect to zero. It's illustrated in the following do-file.

While there are numerous semi-automatic ways of getting predicted
probabilities for regular logit/probit models, I cannot find these for
xtlogit/xtprobit.
My model (in Stata) is:
xtlogit y gender xcon xcat, re
where
y is a binary variable measured at three time points
gender is coded 1 for male and zero for female
xcon is a continionus time-varying covariate
xcat is an ordinal time-varying covariate with five values.
I want to get the following predicted probabilities:
(1) for men and women, respectively, with xcon = mean and xcat = 3
(2) for men and women, respectively, with xcon = 5 and xcat = 3
