Just read
http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?whatsnew10to11
down to
7. Existing command ml has been rewritten. It is now implemented in
terms of new Mata function and optimization engine moptimize().
The new ml handles automatic or implied constraints, posts some
additional information to e(), and allows evaluators written in
Mata as well as ado. See [R] maximize for an overview and see
[R] ml and [M-5] moptimize().
and probably trust neither result too much if the result is sensitive
to the optimization engine!
You can still use options described at
http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?maximize
http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?ml
to improve your results.
It is always possible in max likelihood to find a local max rather
than a global max, or to fail to find a max.
