Whenever I try to generate an initial (row) vector for the ml command,
Stata gives me an error that says that there's an extra element in the
vector. On the other hand, it accepts the same initial values as a
list.
I'm wondering if the issue is the column names. I'm generating the
initial vector by putting together the results (from e(b)) of various
regression commands.
Does Stata pay attention to the column names of initial value vectors
in ml? If so, is there a way to get rid of the column names
altogether? (The manual only shows how to specify them one by one.)
Also, is there a way to find out the length of the necessary initial
value vector for a given ml model command?
Thanks,
Rachel
