Re: st: MLE for each day

[Beatrice Crozza <beatrice.crozza@gmail.com>]

Maarten and Nick,

thank you very much for your help. Everything works now!

I have only another question and concerns to export the table of
result into Latex format.

I tried with the usual command, but in this way I can export only the
last table of results.

Any idea of how to solve the problem?

Thanks a lot,
Bea
