Switching regression Problem

[EViews Gareth]

Because you don't have a clear understanding of how the estimation works, what the options for estimation are, or how to read the output given by the estimation.

We always recommend users only use features for which they have a good understanding of the underlying theories and/or have read and understood the manual.

ok, so you're telling me that: even if I always use the same dataset in sample, is it normal for the model to return a different in sample result every time?

[EViews Gareth]

If you use random starting values, and your estimation doesn't converge, yes. By definition.

[nicotrader]

Because does the model, by construction, use random data regardless of the in sample dataset?

[EViews Gareth]

No, you told it to use random starting values.

[nicotrader]

Excuse me, what do you mean by random starting values?

If I estimate a model and save the equation at this point I can load new dates and use the equation with the guarantee that the coefficients are always the same? So always getting the same result in sample?

[nicotrader]

If not, how can I set the same starting values for an estimate?

Correct.

Use the same seed to ensure you get the same random numbers.

Correct.

how can I save the model and consequently the equation and the coefficients?
