I don't know what you mean by "does not plot correctly" and in any
case you give very little code.
-predict- is a command, not a function.
This example may help
sysuse auto
gen headroomsq = headroom^2
logit foreign headroom headroomsq
predict predict, pr
scatter foreign headroom || mspline predict headroom
A quadratic on the logit scale naturally translates to a bell-shape on
the original scale.
