One way to do just that is to do it manually like in the code below.
The predicted probability whithin a logistic regression is
exp(xb)/(1+exp(xb)) In the example xb is _b[_cons]+_b[price] if
drep==0 and _b[_cons]+_b[price]+_b[drep]+_b[drepXprice]*x if drep==1.
clear
sysuse auto
gen drep = rep78>=4
gen drepXprice = drep*price
logit foreign price drep drepXprice
sum price
twoway function y = exp(_b[_cons]+_b[price]*x)/ /*
*/ (1+exp(_b[_cons]+_b[price]*x)), range(3290 16000) || /*
*/ function y = exp(_b[_cons]+_b[price]*x + _b[drep] + /*
*/ _b[drepXprice]*x) / /*
*/ (1+exp(_b[_cons]+_b[price]*x + _b[drep] + /*
*/_b[drepXprice]*x)), range(3290 16000) /*
*/ ytitle("Pr(foreign)") xtitle("price in $") /*
*/legend(label(1 "drep=0") label(2 "drep=1"))
Hope this helps,
Maarten
