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

[Ben Smythe <ben.solomon81@googlemail.com>]

Hi Christophe,

thanks for your answer. Unfortunately mm_smatlist() also requires real
matrices/vectors. My preferred solution would be to have the results
column vector in Stata again but if there is no way of doing this with
complex vectors/matrices I guess mata will have to do.
Hopefully some of the mata-wizzards are reading this, but thanks again!

Best,

Ben
