The point is that you don't give enough information for people on this
list to help you. The way you can find out that you haven't given
enough information is to put yourself into the postion of someone
answering. For instance methods for jointly estimating equations differ
a lot depending on whether these equations are linear or not, whether
both contain endogenous dependent variables or not. How are we on the
list to know what you want to do, and thus what answer is relevant to
you, unless you tell us? So unlike with help someone who has fallen,
knowing what that person is working on is absolutely vital when giving
statistical advise. When someone comes in my office for advise, their
first question is usually ``how do I do...'', my response is always
''tell me what your research question is and show me what your data
looks like''.
