Direct Retrieval of Estimates

<- Previous: Retrieval of Start Values
Next ->: Working with NLP

Alternatively, the estimates can be retrieved directly from the session matrix stored in the .fmt file that had been generated using the GAUSS VPUT function for that session. The session name is "amzn" and therefore all of the information, including the estimates, is stored in amzn.fmt. Suppose we wanted the estimates for "run3" for construction of a vector of starting values for another model on that data (see Section 3 for a discussion of session files). We can retrieve this vector directly with the following statement:

    est3 = vread(vread(amzn,"run3"),"Estimates");

    print est3;
