It is better to ask such follow up questions on the list, as
somebody else may have also something interesting to say, or
others may be interested in here this discussion.
The line qui replace `lnf' is just there to estimate the model,
it has nothing to do with your question. The answer to your
question is in the -predictnl- part of my example.
What is often easy to -predict-, and which is often more
useful, are the first derivative for each equation, the so
called scores.
Hope this helps,
