Re: st: How to return regression results from a complex column vector in mata back to stata

[Christophe Kolodziejczyk <ck.statalist@gmail.com>]

Have your tried mm_smatlist() from the moremata package? I have not
tried, but maybe it is possible to display complex values with it (the
function is for string matrices)
