Re: st: RE: eform in ML Display

["E. Paul Wileyto" <epw@mail.med.upenn.edu>]

Got a reply from Stata Tech Support (Thanks).  The only way to change 
the value of that scalar to place the command in an e-class bubble.  The 
following program does the job.

 program hello, eclass
   ereturn scalar k_eform =3
 end
 
 hello


After that,

    ml di, eform(Ratio)

will exponentiate the first 3 equations in the likelihood.
