Try this:
**************************************************
sysuse auto, clear
cap prog drop normreg
program define normreg
	version 11.0
	args lnf mu sigma
	qui replace `lnf'=log(normalden(($ML_y1-`mu')/`sigma')) ///
						-log(`sigma')
end
ml model lf normreg (mean: mpg=weight length) (variance:)
ml check
ml max

To every ω-consistent recursive class κ of formulae there correspond
recursive class signs r, such that neither v Gen r nor Neg(v Gen r)
belongs to Flg(κ) (where v is the free variable of r).
