Re: st: ml within ml?
Timothy Dang <[email protected]> is trying to use an -ml- based estimation
comment within another -ml- likelihood evaluator program:

Timothy should look into the -ml hold- and -ml unhold- commands. They allow
users the ability to call -ml- recursively.
The help file for -ml hold- provides an example using these tools for fitting
the negative binomial distribution using the method of profile likelihoods.
