You're both right and wrong. You're wrong because you can use vectors as arguments. You're right because the help for mle doesn't say explicitely that you can supply a vector to the "params" keyword, and the only example in the manual which does that is buried in a somewhat different context (special prize for those who can find it). By the way, this holds true for the "gmm" and "nls" commands too. It's been common knowledge among hansl coders so far, but, yes, it's important to mention this in the documentation. I'll do this asap. Thanks!
