Hi all: I have a simple user defined likelihood function that has the following form Program my_lf args lnfj theta1 theta2 tempname xb sigma tempvar tmp1 tmp2 .... gen double `xd' = `theta1' gen double `sigma' = exp(`theta2') ... replace `lnfj' = ... end My model also assumes that `theta1' has of two independent variables x1 and x2. I noticed that the results for my model are unchanged by using -tempname- or -tempvar-. I assume this is because I specify "gen double `xb' = `theta1'" Has anyone else noticed this before?
