ML - Intial Parameters

Postby MPET1977 » Thu Feb 19, 2009 10:51 am

I am estimating a State Space Model using .ml.
It seems that the estimation is very sensible to the choice of the "initial parameters" used in the optimization problem.
I couldn´t figure out what is the EViews´default for this initial parameters.
Thank you very much,
Myrian

The default is whatever is in the corresponding coefficient vector when you begin the estimation procedure.
