Dear Michal and Stephen,

Thanks for your answer. I tried Michal's code and it actually recovers the
log pseudolikelihood, however stata shows the value using again the
scientific notation. Do you have any suggestion?  
Furthermore, I am not sure I am able to write the same code for the other
distributions I am using (lognfit, smfit, dagumfit, fisk, beta2). Do you
think there is a way to simply change the format of the Iteration so to have
more precision?

If it can helps I copied the result I obtained.

Thanks,
Lucia

Oggetto: Re: st: change the format of the pseudo log-likelihood in gb2fit

You can recover pseudo log-likelihood writing an explicit expression for
log-likelihood for a given model.
For example, in case of GB2 model you could try the following code:

gb2fit dec, cdf(gb2cdf) pdf(gb2pdf) svy
tempvar ll
local wv= "`e(wvar)'"

gen `ll' = lngamma(e(bp)+e(bq)) + log(e(ba)) + (e(ba)*e(bp)-1)* log(dec) ///
	- e(ba)*e(bp)*log(e(bb)) - lngamma(e(bp)) - lngamma(e(bq)) - ///
	(e(bp)+e(bq))*log(1+(dec/e(bb))^e(ba))
qui sum `ll' [aw=`wv'] if e(sample),meanonly di r(sum)

Hope this helps,
Michal
