Dear Rodrigo,
What a beautiful job! Yes, your program runs perfectly in Stata 8.2.
Thank you so much for your suggestion to the website as well as your
valauble time in revising the codes. I highly appreciate it.
I would like to ask you, Nick, and others a related question. I have
the syetm of equations as follows:
a*ln(x) +b*sin(y)=1
a*ln(b*x) + b*y**3 = 3
where a, b are the two variables in the data:
id a b
1 1.5 3
2 2 5.1
3 3.5 7
Now, I would like to find x and y for each individual. One way I can
do is change the values of a and b within the program. However, it
may have more elegant way of doing it. It would be great if you could
give me some suggestion.
Thanks so much and Have A Wonderful day!
Sincerely yours,
Quang

This is (I hope) an equivalent code for the version 8.
There are more examples typing -help nl- and in the manuals.

Dear Nick,
Your suggestion is exactly what I need. Yes, the program works perfect
in Stata 9.
Thanks again and Have A Wonderful Day!
Sincerely yours,
