Dear all =)

I've some troubles with a maximum likelihood estimation:

I've an equation for the estimation, however, one variable should be simultaneously calculated via the 'model'-feature (model calc ---- calc.append ---- calc.solve). How can I incorporate this calculation in the ml estimation?

thanks!

If you're using the LogL object, you cannot do that.

You could try using the Optimize command in EViews 8.

ok thanks... actually I'm still using Eviews 6.. =( so I guess there is no possibility to do this in Eviews 6 right?

Regarding the "optimize" command in E8, is this still a ML estimation or is it in some way a maximization?

thanks..

It is general optimization, including maximisation. If you give it a likelihood function, it is ML.

ok thanks!
