Hi

I have a question about using the -ml- command. I've had a look at the reference manual, but it's a bit over my head. I've seen the book about ML available from Stata, but I thought someone on this list might be able to help me out.

I have the following log likelihood function:

lfn = log( exp(-2*e*T) * ( (1-a) * e^(B+S) + a*d*exp(-u*T) * (e^B) * (u+e)^s +
a * (1-d) * exp(-u*T) * (u+e)^B * (u+e)^B * e^S ) )

The unknown parameters are {e,a,d,u). The dataset contains 59 observations of B and S (daily buys and sells on the NYSE). T is a constant.

Here are the first 10 lines of the dataset:

. list in 1/10

10. | ADM 10516 12 Oct 90 199 138 78 |
+-----------------------------------------------+

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Cameron
