You don't. Even if these kinds of short cuts exist, they inevitably
lead to disaster. I don't think there is an easy solution to your
problem. In your case I would specify the entire model, derive the
log-likelihood, and maximize this using -ml-. As I remarked earlier
this problem is similar, but as Kit remarked not the same, as
-propcnsreg-. While programming -propcnsreg- I noticed that the
likelihood is rather nasty, with local maxima. So you'll probably want
to invest some aditional time in getting good starting values. Anyhow,
this would be a major project.
Sorry,
