Hi Martin,
Thanks for taking time to answer.
Let say I want to sum two variables. I can use format to increase the number of digits after the decimal point for the new variable = old_variable_1 + old_variable_2.
I'm looking for the equivalent but when I sum matrixes in MATA. So I want to increase the number of digit after the decimal point for the new matrix I'm creating from already existing matrixes. And, if possible, I would prefer the entry in the new matrix to be in the data type: double.
Hope my question makes more sense now!

Just to be sure, Marie, how does the -format- command increase precision?
Maybe you really meant to say "data type", as in -help data_types-?

Dear all,
I would like to increase the estimate precision in MATA. So I'm basically
looking for the MATA equivalent of the "format" command in Stata. Which
command should I use?
Thanks in advance,
Marie-Claire
