Each of these entries is initialized to a missing value, and is then filled with the appropriate information as it becomes available.

At each estimation run, an additional matrix is added containing the estimation results and information about that run. The name of the matrix is determined by the label in the first argument in the invocation of estimate. For example,

    estimate run1 garch(1,1);
causes a matrix to be created using the VPUT command with the name run1 in which results stored.
