Mohammad Rahman <[email protected]>:
It should be able to run on a large dataset, but the SEs are computed
via bootstrap, so it takes a while.  You might see how it scales up by
estimating on a random 10th of the data, then half the data, and
specify the option
 reps(5)
to just do 5 -bootstrap- replicates (the default is 50).  Someday soon
I will add analytic SE calculations for the impatient.
