Dear Statalist members,

If I fit a logit model with many dummy variables such as:

logit pass sex age school_d*

where school_d* includes dummies for schools numbered from 1 to 20, i.e. school_d1, school_d2, ,,,, school_d20

how can I calculate a predicted probability without having to specify values for all the 19 schools that take value 0?

For example, suppose I want to do something like
prvalue x(sex=1 age=20 school_d1=1 school_d2=0 school_d3=0  etc)

Is there a way of not having to write  in the command line above that school_d[i]=0 for every i other than 1?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Ana
