Initial values used by EViews

Hi,

I'm using EViews 9.

I run a program that estimates many equations, linear and non linear. While running the program, I would like to be able to print initial values used by EViews.

Can I do that?

Thanks!

Danny

Hi Gareth,

Print was not the rigth word I should have used.I want to save the initial values in a matrix
for each non linear equation that will be estimated.

How can I do that?

Thanks!

Danny

Prior to estimation copy the values out of the C vector into a matrix

Hi Gareth,

I do not know how or where I can get the C vector?

Is it simply, for instance, create a matrix, say, initValue, and then initValues(1) = C(1), initValues(2)=C(2), etc.

Thanks!

Danny

It is in your workfile.

But, yes, you can reference it like that.
