Hi,

I am trying to estimate a non-linear function with the
ml lf option in stata and I have problems with that. 
I am pretesting the likelihood function by generating
data, but I cannot get back the parameter values I had
initially put in. I am estimating an hours equation
with tobit and a simple version of what I have to
estimate is: H=(aX+c)/(bY+d), where a,b, c, and d are
parameters to be estimated.


I would appreciate tremendously any suggestions and
help.

Boryana
